will we ever????

I was wandering will we ever not fear going in to weigh in?? I went today but i really didnt want to. I walked in and told them that i really didnt want to weigh in cuz i had the munchies and i probably gained. Well to my surprise i lost more weight another 5 lbs. So i have lost 131 lbs in a one year and shy of two months out. I really do hate going in and weighing in every month i think that is why i still work so hard on losing weight and trying not to snack and if i do snack it is healthy snacks.....does anyone esle feel this way.....Lynda

Lynda: I know exactly what you mean!! I had a 9 month checkup a week ago, and I didn't eat breakfast or drink much, because i knew I'd get weighed, and was all nervous about it!!! I've only been back to my surgeon's office a couple of times (not alot of followup) maybe if I knew I had to be weighed more often, I'd feel more accountable and cut down on the snacking!!! I still find myself weighing compulsively, it's normal to vary alittle from day to day, but I still tend to want to beat myself up, when I'm up a pound. I know I need to focus on eating healthy, and quit spending so much time worrying about numbers on the scale, but it seems when I was heavy I worried about the numbers, and even more so now! I've lost 117 lbs so I know I'm doing good, yet I have a set weight I feel I "must" attain to be "successful" I guess we are our own worst critics!! If you have any ideas how to shake free of the scale obsession, I'm all ears!!! Have a good day!!! DeeAnn R
