Scale be gone!
So, I finally decided that I am not going to let the scale have control over me! YaY Freedom!
Since I came home from the hospital, I have been weighing myself almost every single day! (I know they said not to, but I decided that I would allow it, LOL) And, in the beginning, I would see a loss almost every single time I weighed. But, now that the loss has slowed a bit, I have been so worked up thinking that I am not losing anymore. And, it's seriously taking over my life and making me ill.
So, I realized that at 5 1/2 months out, I'm not "supposed" to be losing a pound a day anymore!
Duh, I know!
So, I will still weigh, so I have some sort of frame of reference. But, I am NOT going to let the scale make me sick and make me feel like I am not doing the right things! I know I am! So, I am going to try to focus more on my NSV's (Non-Scale Victories), of which I have many, already!!!
YaY for unchaining the scale from my ankle and letting my mind, heart, and body be free!! (As they should be!)
Hugs, Heather =)

Thats funny cause I am only 3 weeks out and doing the same thing. I was weighing myself almost 2-3 a day. I then went on a 5 day stall so last night I had my hubby hide the scale and I told him I didn't want it back till Saturday. I was getting frustrated and about to give up so I figured I had to let it go lol. Anyways hang in there and I'm sure we will get there :-)

Awww! I know exactly how you feel!
Stalls are a part of this whole thing...I mean, our bodies need time to catch up...my brain knows all of this! But, it's the rest of me that has had a hard time accepting this! LOL
I say we band together and banish those scales! We don't need 'em! We only need ourselves! (Oh, and our little pouchies!)
You're right--we WILL get there! =)

When I came to this place it was freeing...I literally had to get the scale out of the house, thought I'd die or something but I thrived instead!
Looking at the world w/o the hunkametal lense is so much better. All part of our journey I think! I went to MDs or mothers weighing in no more than 1x week and usually 1x month!
Yes at 6mo or so the honeymoon is widning down/over..we have probably lost 2/3 of what we will and the lessons of living this way for life get more challenging. So worth it though! HUGE HUGS!
Progress not perfection for us all at every minute of the day!
