"No Weigh May"

I have decided not to weigh myself even once in the month of May as a way to help myself get over my obsession with the scale.  Some days I think I look great, and then I step on the scale and think, "Oh man!  I how did I gain a pound?  I must actually be huge!"  Other days I think I look huge and jump on the scale only to find I have lost a few!  What the heck???  My weight goes up and down daily, and I am sick of having my mood determined by the number I see, and obviously seeing it doesn't help me change my body one way or the other, and it never helps me make better choices from day to day.

I normally weigh myself every single morning, and this is going to be a challenge for me, but I think it will also be good for me in a lot of ways. Actually it will feel like torture not to know for sure what I weigh at any given moment, which is the best reason of all to go without my little ritual.  Wish me luck!
