Day 5 & 6 - Why are numbers so important?

Good morning. Somehow, I got off track. I thought that Weds was a carb up day only to learn that it was a low carb day. Can this really be as confusing as I'm making it? I decided to do two low carb days in a row to get myself back on track. For some reason, although I feel thinner, that number on the scale holds a lot of importance in my life
(another one of those dig down deep issues that I need to figure out). Probably much more importance than it should. Although I know that I should weigh once a week, the scale beckons and I find myself weighing sometimes as often as twice a day.

The more important number, ratio of waist to hips, is one that I usually don't measure. My diet isn't just about losing weight. It's about taking it off and keeping it off and it's also about getting healthy. I was born an apple and I suppose that in some sense, I'll always be an apple but I want to get this number down to something that is in a healthier range. So some more sad truth. Waist measurement is 36" and hip measurement is 41". BMI is .878. Need to get back to the gym!
