Just a Number

I have been thinking about getting some new bathroom scales..the ones we have are the dial ones and i can hardly see the little dashes and they tell me I am lighter than i am. For months I wondered why I couldn't fit into half of my clothes but the scales were telling me I should be able to. One would think i would have learnt from that..not to mention numerous books, mags and sites saying just go by how you feel...but no.

I thought that a new set of accurate readable scales would propel me into some serious motivation, that I would see the light and with a blink of an eye would see a big 62.0 flash before my eyes. After a few hours of wandering around looking at scales from over $350 (do they do the exercise for you??!!) to about $100 i walked away with nothing...being an indecisive librian i was weighing it all up in my mind and decided i should put the $100 towards something that would make me feel great about myself..so thats what i am going to do..i just can't decide if its going to be a gorgeous expensive handbag or perfume...

After getting up at 6am ( couldn't sleep) and going for a walk (the hilly way) for over an hour, i am feeling great and motivated and ready for a good week...I am going to focus on feeling great and not the number i wear (12/14 btw..) or weigh.

ps..oporto is a chicken takeaway chain..i think they might just be in sydney..its sort of like red rooster..
