XPOST: I've been a bad girl.... but have good news to share!

So.... I've been a bad girl! I've done a TERRIBLE job this week with my vow to break my scale obsession and weigh myself once per week. I think there was only one day this week that I didn't get on the scale in the morning.... ugh. I'm not happy about it, because I know that the minute any loss stops I'm going to be frustrated again. I KNOW this is something that I really need to work on and stick to it.

The good news is that after 14 months and 238.6 lbs lost, I have a BMI of 29.9 - which means that this chick is no longer severely morbidly obese, morbidly obese, or obese.... this chick is OVERWEIGHT baby! :) It's very exciting!

Now, enough celebration... I've got to get a grip with the weighing myself thing. Maybe I should focus on just cutting back on weighing myself for now and phase into weighing once per week. I know to some this might seem like a really silly thing to spend so much time thinking about.... but I know that it's something I need to do. I need to either weigh myself everyday and accept what the number says or I need to chill out and stop weighing so much. Sigh.....

Its not silly at all, I think we ALL struggle with the scale.  It can bring such great joy and utter frustration.  I had to put it out of sight in the closet to weigh once a week.  My nutritionist said to put it in the trunk of the car if necessary because you really had to think about going to get it.  In the closet it was just through a door and easy access....just a thought.  It does tend you rule our minds.

Hi

So excited for you and being overweight. You are very inspirational to me. Just got sleeved Tuesday. You go girl!  As for the scale I think the obsessive part of the journey helps us and hinders us, but we could not do it without it. Those of us who are obsessive know what I mean:) You'll figure out the scale thing you're Aha moment just hasn't kicked in.
