throwing out the scale!!!

Yeah!!!! I finally did it. After tormenting myself for 3 weeks of daily, frustrating weigh-ins, I finally told my husband to take the scale out of the house. It's a little nerve-wracking, but not basing my whole day's mood on a number is very liberating. I just have to learn to trust that the surgery is doing its job as long as I am following the rules (which I am).

Good for you!! Freedom!

Personally I feel like you do. I know how I felt before the surgery when I thought I had lost and stepped on the scale and went up a pound. Our digital scale broke and I have not replaced it. I don't want to have any disappointing moments so I have decided to weigh at the doctor's office. Maybe month 6 or 9 I'll get another scale when I go to maintain my weight I'll probably weigh once a week. I get very depressed and down when I don't lose. That's what I think is going to be best for me. It sounds like what you have done is the best choice for you at this point of your weight loss. Good luck.

I am not getting rid of it just yet... I have stalled too.. although I see a low of 263 then up to 265 up and down every other day... but I know that it is just a phase. I do see a difference in the way clothes are fitting.
