Stupid Scale.....

Well, the stupid scale stated I gained a few lbs...and I think it is causing me to have a little bit of depression this am....I have been weighing daily sometimes twice a day. I know this is not good but I am addicted ( I might need to seek a support group for this addiction lol)...don't ask me why just a control thing, I feel like if I don't keep on it and know what my weight it I will lose sight and end up gaining all my weight back. I self paid Nov 15,05 and have lost -145lbs and that is my biggest fear is that I will have paid that money and I will end up failing like I have on every other diet I was ever on. Has anyone else had this where they have gained some? Any advice? I have been walking 2 miles 3 to 5 times a week. I know I need to push more fruits and veggies haven't really had any lately. Do they have a recipe board here they need one because I need some meal and snack ideas. Thanks for any help, Donna

Your holding water. That happens to me all the time. I usally gain before I lose. Also mothers day meal was a no no for me but I am okay back on track today. I think your doing wonderful. walking is great. Just get out and walk it off today if it stops raining. Take Care Barb

Donna, First of all let me congratulate you on 145lbs down! Secondly, if you remain active as you have been and stay low on the carbs you will do just fine. An occasional bump in the scale is nothing to worry about. Keep up the walking, just make sure you are putting some effort into and working up a good sweat! C

Dr C Will drinking Beer once a week ruin my surgery. I drink bloody marrys once a week. The salt is not good for me. I go out once a week and drink with friends. I get so wasted on bloody marrys. I dont like to get like that. I did drink beer before my surgery. Thanks Barb

Barb, Regular alcohol consumption is not a good idea in my opinion, it's just wasted empty calories. It's not going to kill you though. C

Thanks Dr C
