I read in CALP that you should weigh yourself the day after your period ends each month, as that is when you are least likely to experience water retention and your measurements will be the most accurate.

I of course had lost my tape measure, and just bought another one. I'm going to do my measurements tomorrow (for the first time) to give myself some new baseline numbers.

I had read somewhere that it is more accurate if you get someone else to measure you. I do my SO's measurements for him, but even though he knows how big I am, I'm a little too embarrassed about those numbers to have him measure me.

I get the same self-talk in regards to eating. You're too fat, you don't need/deserve to eat. You could go for months on your body fat. Then I get the opposite too. You're so fat, what's one more donut/candy bar/bag of chips?
Yada yada yada. It's really hard to block it out.

I'm kind of angry at myself this morning. I was starving a little while ago (stomach growling/hurting hunger), and because of poor planning I didn't have anything to eat with me. I remembered a candy bar in my purse that someone bought for the baby (I've been carrying it in my purse for 3 months now), and I ate it. I looked at the carbs (34), and if I stick to induction levels for the rest of the day I'll be okay, but I'm really beating myself up over eating carbage.

I keep trying to remind myself that I'm doing this to get/stay healthy. I'm trying very hard to get myself away from the "weight loss goal" mode of thought and into a "health goal" mindset. I'm trying not to get so caught up in the goals that I lose sight of the process. Every time I let myself only focus on the weight loss, then I start sneaking in junk and thinking that it's okay as long as I'm still losing weight. I think I need to put Austin's picture on the refrigerator and in the money section of my wallet (maybe tape one to my credit card too).

I was having chest pains a little while ago. I know that it's just stress and that it's not something to worry about, but it scared me. I just read over this. I'm sorry. I meant to give you some ideas and ended up whining about myself.
