259 Butt Naked in a Slight Breeze

I got on the scale this morning and I weighted 259. I was down to 259 a week ago, but was too hungry to keep my weight there. I ate too much food for the beech party, and our wedding anniversary, and I was back up to 264.

However, a few days later, with steady discipline of low calorie diet, and healthful foods, I am back down to 259 and feeling like I can maintain it.

I play mind games with myself I have noticed. I plan to make this my new high weight, and start chopping away at getting down to 255, my next intermediate goal. Also, I have yet to see the scale lower than 259, so I will know I am on the right track when I see it going down to 258, 257 etc...

I am a little obsessive. I weigh myself 4-5 times a day. Once when I first wake up, again after I shower and shave. When I get home I strip off all my clothes and weigh myself again, to see how much I gained from lunch, then I know how much I can eat for dinner. I like to weigh myself after dinner too to see if I stayed on target. Then I will get on the scale once more before bed.

Another obsessive tendency I have is to calculated how much weight I have to loose while standing in the shower. I write the number I am at, and subtract 3 from it or 7 from it and give myself a date I want to be at that weight. (Usually it is the next weight watchers weigh in) I visualize what I need to do to get there, and I imagine what I will look and feel like at that weight.
