No scale and loving it!

I don't have a scale at home and I am so glad. I didn't have this surgery to weigh a certain amount. I just want to be healthy, be able to run with my children, canoe, shovel snow without getting exausted, fit in an airplane seat. My lifestyle is improving every day, and so is my private time with my husband! I know that I will gain motivation from the weigh-in at my doctor's tomorrow (4 wks out), but I refuse to let my emotions be manipulated by a scale. My clothes are slipping off of me and my husband can't keep his hands off me and I love it. That's all I need. I thank God for this second chance.

I have the scale, as of right now it is making me happy. I know someday I will have to break away . But as you stated in your post regarding family life and your husband, I feel the same exact way. This is the best thing I have ever done for myself. And I am lovin life sooooo much now. I can't wait until summer and I can really have some fun. Congrats and Best wishes. Dawn

Hi Catherine, What a positive healthy attitude you have. (my open rny was 1-27-04) I need to stay off that scale, and after reading your post I am going to do just that. My husband is also hugging and touching more, and what a nice treat that is, right?! I also do not care what I weigh, just what to be healthy. I can relate to everything you say. I thank God for this second chance at a healthy life. Take care, Lark Johnson
