SCALE SLAVE!!!!

Help me please I have become a slave to my scale. I just can't stay off it! I need to find a nice little black hole to bury it into. It is nice to see the numbers go down but they just don't seem to go down fast enough for me. I am 5 weeks post op as off monday. When I started my liquid fast I weighed in at a WHOPPING 246. I am now down to a not so WHOPPING 218 lol. YEAH forme but I hear how everyone talks about the HUGE weight loss the first few months and that just isn't going to happen for me. Please say a prayer for me that I can control my scale stepping. LOL It is going to drive me mad or make me depressed! Thanks guys. Also, Keep Judy G. in your thoughts today as she travels with her DH to GR. for some tests. Lets keep our fingers crossed she gets a date!!!! Best of luck Judy! Everyone have a GREAT DAY!

Di use a jackhammer, chainsaw, or other large tool and demolish that darn thing and get it out of your house. How about putting it under a roller that crushes concrete that is new? Better yet==take it to goodwill and leave it there!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do not become slave to the scale for it does not always tell the truth! Love you girl stacey

LOL Stacey you are too darn funny girl!!!!! BTW I LOVE your new pics. You look great! Hugs, Di

Di, I am 10 1/2 months out and will admit to still being a slave scale. However, I limit myself to 1 time a day. I have a routine, I get up in the morning use the bathroom, strip down, and weigh myself. Then for the rest of the day, no matter how I'm tempted I do not allow myself to step on it. The other thing I KNOW is that my weight will fluctuate daily - so just because I weighed 161 this morning and I weigh 163 tomorrow that DOESN'T mean I gained 2 lbs, that means its another day and my body is just fluctuating. It truly isn't that bad being a scale slave as long as you can keep perspective. If you can't keep perspective, then I agree you HAVE to get rid of the scale!! Jeani V 347/161/150

Well, I put my scale up today. I promised my angel Judy that I would only weigh myself 1x a week. That way I don't get depressed. LOL I am doing pretty good though really. I am 5 and 1/2 weeks post op and went from 246 to 218. Can I really complain??? NO! HOWEVER, I see people on here who have lost like 40 t0 50 pounds there first month. I know I am not like everyone else and this and that but suffering everyday you just wi**** to be gone NOW LOL I know you know what I mean. Thanks so much for the advice and encouragement. It really does help. Hugs, Di 254/218/154

Twice a day I would go to the scale and weigh myself. I hated that scale, so I got even. I put it under the tire of my car and ran it over. Now the only way I can weigh myself is when I go to the doctors.

LOL I don't think I am that strong yet. I paid $50 for that damn thing. I thought it would become my "mirror mirror on the wall" lol because it would show me what I wanted to see NOT!!! what a reality check. LOL Someday I will be strong enough to get rid of it HOWEVER, I did promise my angel Judy to only weigh myself once a week. I can do that. I am taking my scale to my neighbors and we are weighing ourselves together. If it isn't in the house....I can't use it. LOL thanks girl, Di

Hey Lady Di My surgeon just admonished me this week, at my two week checku, when I whined about the scale not moving fast enough. He said ....are your clothes getting bigger yes....are you feeling well.....yess......then give the damn scale to someone you dont like very well!!!! I dont have a scale at home and wanted to buy one. Darling Fiance said no....I said, how will i know i am losing weight ....he said I will tell you when you are losing weight. And he does! Every day! We just got back from a walk, and he commented that he could even tell by my shadow, because I now have a waist. Glad you are doing well, Julie

Hi Di, I know exactly what you mean. I have become a slave to the scale too! I can't seem to stay off of it! The hard part is I have lost 67 pounds (which is good, I know) but I can't seem to lose anymore. I have been on a stall for like 4 weeks now. But I know I will get there soon! Congratulations on the weight loss! Kathy

OMG girl it is soooo good to hear from you!!!! You look AMAZING you sexy beast!!!!! You are soo beautiful! Way to go. I know I took my scale to the neighbors so we can only weigh one time a week. I promised my butt bustin angel Judy. LOL What would I do without her kickin my butt. LOL You will lose more girl. How are things for you? We miss you so much on here. Give us all an update.
