So far I’ve resisted the urge to buy another scale. Though I do find myself on Amazon frequently looking at them.

I’m just trying to listen to my body and not restrict or binge. I think I’ve been doing good. I also gave myself a permission to take the weekend off exercise since it’s a holiday weekend.

I might take a walk to the store to get some milk tomorrow but that’s it , no treadmill or any other exercise. Mostly to get out of the house. I don’t want to be so obsessed with losing weight that I push myself to workout even on holidays. That’s not how I want to be. I don’t want it to consume every single minute of my life.

I find myself kind of switching back and forth between obsessing about my weight and then trying to focus on other things that matter more. Like my hobbies. But I guess the good thing is that even when I do fall back into obsessing about my weight I’m not giving into the desire to restrict. And am not falling into binge eating either because I’m focusing on my hobbies and feel less stress.

But yeah, I’ve been eating when I’m hungry. Not stress/binge eating and not restricting or overexercising.
