Doctor & Scale

My doc TOLD me to stop stressing and fighting with the scale. He advised me to have my husband hide my scale and bring it out once a month!!! I said NO WAY!!! Then I said I'd considering it if hubby could bring out the scale once a Week??? Sounds like a good idea!!!........but I'm still thinking about it !! What do you think?? Summer 240/188/135

NO! NO! DON'T EVER TAKE MY SCALE AWAY! I know, I'm I don't stress over not losing, so what's the big deal? Donna

I know I'm losing weight and inches...but my brain still freaks when the scale doesn't move ever couple of days...the thought "it's over I've stop losing" enters my mind. I know it's but what can I say!!! I'm glad you aren't stressing!!!!!!!!! Are you going to lunch next Saturday!!? Crazy Summer

No, I can't go I have to help at church with a program my daughter is in. "True Love Waits" so by the title you can guess it's pretty important! catch y'all next time though! Donna

Donna, I totally agree "True Love Waits" is much more important! Glad you are raising your daughter right!!! We will miss you! Summer

Hi there Donna, So glad to see a new picture...you look lovely! Just waving hello to all my November sisters and brothers. Jo trying to stay off the evil scale.

You should try to stop obsessing over the scale...even for a week or two. I only weigh myself every other week, and the results are more satisfying. I was hopping on the scale every day, and getting depressed. Now, I only get on about every 10 days or so, and the greater weight loss numbers make me feel better.

Hi there!! You are absolutely right! I think I will try to weigh myself once a week! I think I will need to have my DH hide the scale. You weighing every other week is great! Maybe I can work up to that!! Thanks!! Summer

Aloha my surgery twin! I used to weigh twice a week. Now I only do it on Fri. In the morning, before I get dressed but after I pee (every ounce counts!) Some neuroses die hard! I figure do it before I head into the weekend. And some weeks it doesn't move. It doesn't go up, but it doesn't move. For the non weighing days, I have a pair of pants or shorts that is a size down or that I am just trying to get into. I'll try that on to confirm inches being lost so that I don't obsess about the numbers. Just another way of affirming when the scale isn't cooperating Carey 243/186/130
