Donna -- Thanks for asking! Here it is.

I think of the several things that I do differently one of the most
motivating is to use a balance beam scale and not move the indicator
higher if my weight goes up because of water/fiber gain. So if I'm
eating substantially less than the calories it takes to maintain my
weight (For instance, today I had 300 calories at brunch and about 900
calories at dinner, but I also went up my little hill and that
probably consumed 300 calories or so. Hence the total for today is
about 900.), I know that I will HAVE to lose weight, unless the laws
of physics are suspended in my kitchen.

So every morning when I get on the scale there is the CHANCE that the
indicator will be lower and there is NO CHANCE that I will move it
higher to see how much water weight I've put on. Very similar to my
looking at the clock in the middle of the night, wondering if I will
get back to sleep. Last week I did it once and I got up at 3:30 AM and
stayed up until about 5:30. The next night I didn't look at all. I
advise people to turn their clocks over at night if they have sleep
problems and I made the mistake of not doing that myself.

Anyway, good for you! I think your idea of a self-reward for losing
weight is terrific! Also using clothing to reassure you of your
success also is great! Whatever it takes to be "good enough for long
enough!"

Yours truly,
