Farmers know not to count their chickens before they hatch. Dieters need to remember not to count their pounds until they are off.
Yesterday morning I weighed in at 206.0 lbs. When I came home from work I changed and thought to myself, "what the heck, let's see what I weigh." I was down to 202.6 lbs. Naturally I was ecstatic. Dreams of being under 200 danced in my head like deranged sugar plum fairies in expectation of the coming morning. Of course I had not eaten dinner yet.
This morning I weighed in at my "official" time at 204.6 lbs. That is a 1.4 lbs loss from yesterday morning but alas less than what I had hoped I would be at.
The moral of today's story? Don't be so eager to jump on that scale at times other than your scheduled time. Consistency and slow/maintainable progress are what matters.
