LOA from my scale!

I am going crazy! Nearly a month and only .9 of a lb lost. I am taking a leave of absence from my scale. I go for my 4 month (although by then it will be nearly 5 months) post-op on March 18th and I am hoping to make it until that day without weighing myself at home! I am going crazy stepping on the scale every morning to see that my weight hasn't changed. So, I am going to try and give myself a mental health break and relax on the scale for a couple of weeks!

 

However, on a happier note: My BMI is now under 50! 49.6!

Kendra,

Maybe taking a vaca from the scale would be a good idea. Are you working out? Have you taken your measurements?

The stall can be difficult to deal with. I am the queen of stalls and I feel your pain.

Stay in the game, it will eventually start to melt away.

Hugs,

Sharon

 

I admit I haven't been as good with actual time out to exercise. I hate to admit this but I am so self conscious at the gym. i mean, always looking around to make sure no one is looking at me kind of deal. So I do good about doing it, then I stop, then I do good, then I stop.  I have been adding to my walks on campus. I am parking farther away, getting up and down for more little things instead of doing it all at once, making sure I am taking stairs and never the elevator-and I CAN feel the difference in my thigh muscles :-). So it is adding up in that way. But, no, actual formal exercise, not so much. However, it is something that in the past few days I have been working on. And today when I get home from school, I have a date with my treadmill. I know I can't expect my tool to work if I don't fully work it so here's to it.

I have noticed that the jeans-26 I got into a few weeks ago are a little loose so I am going to the store this weekend to try on a 24. Also, I have some 22's in the closet and I can get them on and zipped up, but they are tight!

I think I am going to update on here every time I exercise though....if I have an audience I can't skip out on it.

So protein, vits, and exercise. I got this!

Honey I don't kniw about stalls yet but take Sharon's advice she knows ehat she is talking about!

I am there for support, we all are! Put the scale away and concentrate only on you, reaching deep down inside of you and learn to know your body and mind.
