I weigh myself every morning when I get up. 

Then I weigh myself again after I go to the bathroom. 

And I usually weigh myself at the end of the day.

If I’m fasting, I’ll even weigh myself before bed.

But when I mark down my weight for the “day”, I use the lowest weight.

Is that cheating?

I figure it all evens out in the end. 

But it makes me feel better in the moment.

We’re usually not talking about a lot of weight.

Although, I can fluctuate a few pounds during the day.

Especially if I go for a long run.

Some days I can lose up to five pounds.  Or gain up to five pounds…

Now you know my dirty secret!

I use my lowest weight of the day for tracking my weight-loss progress.

If I was more scientific, I would weigh myself at the same time each day.

And use that as the weight.

However, using my lowest weight makes me happier.

And the happier I am, the more likely I’m going to stick with it.

So, if it’s cheating so be it.

In the end, I’m still losing weight.
