my not weighing experiment

Try to think of your WLS as a completely new approach to losing weight and becoming sensible.  Giving the scale too much power is like giving the power to lose weight over to someone else-well, the SCALE says-......I say take control over that bad boy.

Now, I don't use mine, but I can't throw it away either...LOL....even if I have to go buy new batteries when I need a home scale fix.

I know what you mean about us giving the scale too much power and that is the whole reason I decided not to weigh but in the end the scale still is the almight scale and I can't wait to see what it says!  I'm pathetic!

Not pathetic, realistic !!!  I stay off because if I don't know what it is doing I have to do the right thing.   Maybe that's a little Pollyanna, but I refuse to be a slave of the scales.  If I choose to do the wrong thing, aka cake today, I'm not going to beat myself up over it, I just get on the bike or the treadmill and don't get off until that many calories have been burned (my punishment, I guess.)  Save that money you're threatening to spend on a new set of scales and put it on the new clothes you're needing because the old ones are too big :)

I think sometimes we hop on the scale to "end a binge" or start over.  REAL freedom is knowing you can start over in the middle of the day (who would have ever believed) or right after a pancake breakfast.....I truly think the ability to STOP in mid binge is the greatest gift of this surgery.

Amy, I KNOW you are going to pleasantly surprised on Friday! I almost fell over when I saw the difference in you from post op diet class to last week! You are almost there and I admire you for it. I too am addicted to the scale. Hiding it is the only thing that will cure that as I can't stay away sadly.

come on amy I am in this to the end with you. I am not weighing until friday also and it is just about to kill me. we will do great on friday so watch for me and I will pray for you. see ya

Thank you Christy!!!  I didn't weight.  I only have until tomorrow morning to go so I am hanging int here!

Are you kiddin me??  You look and act like the Amy of 20 years ago! We all have noticed the changes.  If you have lost 10 pounds or 50 pounds, the changes in you overall are incredible.  Jerry told me just yesterday that you reminded him of the Amy that used to visit the music store and that set us up on our first date!!!
You are doing AWESOME, so don't be getting down regardless of numbers.  I admire you!

Cool!!!!  I'm not quite feeling 20 yet but am feeling 30ish!!
