Roadblock: I can stay committed to eating well if..the scale tells me exactly what I think it should exactly when I think it should. This one gets people in trouble all the time. Many the sincere dieter has lost faith and given up just short of the moment in time when the scale would have reflected their hard work. Unfortunately, the scale is just not on the same day as you. It’s somewhere behind you, sometimes far behind.
Safe detour: Use the math to know where the scale should be…and then, wait for it to get there. I had a client who shocked the pants off herself by comparing her actual scale loss to her projected loss over a 27 week window. She was an excellent record keeper and during those 27 weeks had often been up in her weight when she should have been down, and down in her weight when she should have been up. Body fat loss projection: -45.85 pounds. Actual weight loss: 46 pounds. Thank God she relied on the math not the scale on a week to week basis. She never would have held out through those periods when the scale was not accurately reflecting the facts.
