Venting...

Happy Friday....

can I just mention that the idea of getting weighed next week at the clinic is really stressing me out?!

I honestly DO NOT believe in weighing yourself in the middle of the day, in the evening, or really any other time UNLESS - it is FIRST thing in the morning (after a pee), in your BIRTHDAY SUIT ;)

I cancelled going to an event this weekend because it would require three things - eating off a menu (which I did look at ahead of time), sleeping over out of town, and missing my workouts this weekend. Right now I feel like I need to be super selfish, and I do feel a little guilty, but not enough to reconsider going. I don't want to develop unhealthy habits right now - like avoiding a social life, but I really feel like this time in my life requires me to be selfish and focused on self-care and personal development. I want to be ready post-surgery and not in complete shock about the changes I have to make.

You do what you need to do to prepare yourself for surgery. However, don't completely alienate your friends or support group. I too am not a friend of the scale, I get incredibly depressed everytime I step on, no matter what time of day.
