It had too much power over me! I couldn't deal with it anymore. I always forget to enter into Fitday.com. I decided I am gpoing to eat my way. And then I can see how my numbers are. I was so concerned about the protein, carbs and all the meals. So Now I eat only if I want. Today I had low carb yogurt and high protein Kashi cereal for breakfast. For lunch, I just wanted a huge bowl of sf jello. It has a little low carb fruit ****tail in it and I used some ff whipped cream. Now for dinner, since I am at school, I will have something like a scoop of tuna and some dipping veggies maybe. If I can, I'll wait to get home and have some sausages and peppers. I don't need all the protein cause I don't exercise. So if I feel like it later, I'll have a protein shake for a snack. I've also been nibbling all day on sunflower seed but they are in the shell and it takes me so long to eat them. That is how I am trying to not graze on other things. I just got so sick of worrying about everything. I will watch my blood tests closer and adjust from there. I am trying to make smarter choices for foods. So throwing out my scale just made sense. I have too much going on in my life that I can't deal with everything so closely. I watch my heath, take my vitamins and meds and I am starting to get back in touch with my surgeon. joanne

Wanda, I believe my immune system has improved greatly the last 2 years (because of exercise and weight loss). I haven't had a cold or the flu (knock on wood too). I think the daily vitamins have helped too. Sleep .... at least 6 hours, sometimes 8. Mary

Wanda, I'm doing good to get 6-7 hours during the week. Sometimes I get a little more on weekends, but that depends on what we're doing. I also can't get to sleep as early on the days I take my B-12. I don't get sick much either, but I never did. Got a great immune system. I've always had about the same amount of sleep as I get now, so for me nothing really has changed (except the B-12 part).

I think I made the right decision on taking my scale out of the house. Ironically, I feel so much better. No more disappointments, no more obsession. I think I am grazing less. I am still grazing too much but much less than before. I have to take baby steps. Everyday I TRY to cut back on more and more grazing. But having the devils tool out of my house has taken such pressure off of me. Have any other OBSESSED people gotten rid of the scale? Joanne

yeah nasty stuff that snow.. Sunday I saw we were to get more, but not as much as you have. Good luck and stay warm!
