Weigh in. If you haven't already, you will step on the scale in this step. It is important for you to start using the scale as an information tool that provides data you can use to guide your eating. The main point of this step, is to ensure that your attitude about weighing is right. Otherwise stepping on the scale can discourage you and derail your efforts entirely.
If the number on the scale is not as low as you were hoping tell yourself that this is merely a tool to help you learn. The goal you are striving for is living for God and not yourself..and you have not failed at that. Perhaps other factors joined to give you a higher number. It could be any number of physical variations, time of the month, sodium intake etc... Also perhaps you ate more due to stress you were experiencing. You have not blown it...you are not a failure. God wants you to trust HIM and boast in the cross, putting no hope in your own efforts. He will use this number on the scale to teach you about Him and your relationship to Him. Its all good. Continue to weigh on a regular basis and record your weight. Its also fun to put your weight on a graph.
