Weigh In Rituals... or Superstitions

So I have been weighing in (practically) every week in the SAME leggings for the last 6 weeks. I will wear them until I literally have them slouched (there's already room) and baggy around my thighs and have to tie them behind me! lol!

They're part of my ... good luck charm almost. Last weekend, the honey surprised me with a weekend away from the house and sent our sun to stay with his aunt.

When packing my bag in a a giddy rush, I left them at home. I visited a site in the suburb we stayed in to weigh in... up 1.2 lbs (never mind the big Wild Fire dinner I had of lamb porterhouse chops and broccoli and the cocktails at the casino!)

Back at my meeting this week, in my "lucky leggings" down 2.6 ... never mind last night was a completely OP day with no imbibing (I've stopped drinking until my vacation in September) and a filling WW-approved dinner before 8 p.m. It is my superstition.

I also hope I get to goal before it gets too cold... because I wear only one of two pairs of slide on shoes... which I slide off, put ONE paper towel on the scale... deep breath and step on.

I also...

Make sure I don't eat before weigh in (which is fine because I weigh in before 7:30 a.m.).

I use the restroom at the Center. Extra water weight or something, right?

I have a snack to eat during my meeting. Usually a piece of fruit. And my first water of the day.

I go home and prepare a "Big Breakfast*" for the boys and I:
Scrambled Egg & Whites topped with Salsa
Turkey Bacon / Links
Milk
(If I've been a very good girl and had a stellar weigh in, a slice of raisin toast)
Followed by another piece of fruit (if still hungry).... water.
*It's called big because my usual breakfast is much "lighter" lol..yogurt, fruit granola etc

THEN and only then, I proceed about my normal day. Because I feel in my heart THAT sets the tone for my whole OP week.

Do you have any WI Superstitions or Rituals?

Tell me about that...
