Like the title? I do. When I proposed this challenge to Marc he loved that I was calling myself a Scale Whore, not so much when I asked if he would do the challenge with me. Hehehe.
Scale Whoring is a serious affliction. Scale Whoring rules your life, if your weight is good you justify eating more calories, if your weight is bad you justify eating more calories because it can’t get much worse. This phenomenon is called the Vicious Scale Whoring Cycle.
I am taking a stand. I do NOT want to be a Scale Whore anymore.
Today starts my 7 Day Scale Whore Challenge. I’m taking it 7 days at a time since a Scale Whore can’t change her spots overnight.
The Goal:
7 days, 7lbs lost and to stop whoring myself out to my scale.
Week 1 Rules:
Log all food & exercise
1450 calories per day, no exceptions in going over calories.
No Take-out, aka the bane of my existence
700 minutes of Exercise
Scale Whore Moments:
ONE. Yes, you read that right. I weighed myself this morning, I will weigh myself on Thursday June 9th as that is the end of Week 1 and I will allow myself ONE other scale whore moment. That is it. I can Scale Whore myself at anytime during the week but I’m only allowed to step on that whorish scale ONCE.
Reward:
$50 smackaroos. I know I complain about money all the time but Marc is going camping next weekend and I’m going to be alone all weekend so I will have that $50 to do whatever I want with and that prospect totally motivates me. $50 of guilt free money to spend however I wish, well that’s just Scale Whore Bliss right there. Marc’s reward is camping…yeah it’s already planned and he’s going but his reward money will go towards that. He doesn’t need as much motivation as I do, so it works.
Official Starting Weights:
June 2, 2011
Leslie - 314.0lbs Marc - 296.9lbs
Yes, I am bitter he weighs less than I do.
Yes, I have gained 4.6lbs since in 12 days since hitting 100lbs lost.
No, I am NOT changing my ticker to reflect the weight gain.
Yes, I am going to lose more weight in this challenge than Marc. BRING IT.
Anyone care to join me in giving up their Scale Whoring ways??

Ooohhhhh...I should so do this! But I probably won't. :) You go do it and be super, duper successful and then I will do it. I promise I'm not crossing my fingers.
Lordy, I really need to do it.
@ Beth Ann, how about if I succeed in meeting the scale part of the challenge that you will do it with me for Week #2? How does that sound? The other stuff like 7lbs and such you don't have to do.
I just made you a button for the challenge. Couldn't resist.
LOVE the new layout and good luck on the challenge!
