So my daughter stole my scale

I am obsessed with weighing in a million times a day. She was sick of watching me weigh myself getting disappointed every time I got off of the dang thing. So she took it and hid it. Now I did good the first few days but today is a week and I'm going insane. I have fallen off the wagon more than a year ago and I'm dying to know how much I weigh especially since I am trying to hit my reset button today. I still have excellent restriction I just snack all of the time and when I am emotional I literally wait for my stomach to empty so i can eat more. Well I'm cutting down to only one snack a day ( a shake ) and a snake for breakfast since I tend not to eat breakfast any way. I'm going to come in at around 700 calories today and 76 grams of protein. I hope that's good for a vsg but I am currently in a size 14/16 and would like to be a size 10/12 by my 2 yr surgiversary. That's may 13, 2015. I refuse to make any goals that revolve around weight because it's too easy to get discouraged when the scale doesn't move or moves up instead of down.

did you go to the Dr?

If you are that scale obsessed and that food obsessed, you need to get some professional help.  Have you looked up Overeaters Anonymous in your area?  It's free and seems very helpful for folks who are really in need of help.

As harsh as it might sound I agree with Price.  After WLS some people get really obsessed with other things when I they feel "controlling" their food (or scale) has been taken away from them.   I think my obsession was shopping.  I just couldn't stop and my credit cards were getting a little high.  The worse part is I just took a lot of the clothes I bought to the Goodwiil because they didn't fit any more.

I am an every day weigher.  I'm still a little obsessive as far as weighing goes but when we were on vacation for 10 days and never thought about the scales once. O just tried to make good choices.  On a normal day if for some unusual reason I forget it does upset me for a minute or two but I would never even think of getting weighed after I have my first food/drink of the day because I know it will be higher (we all probably obsess a little).

My advice is to up your "Good" Protein by A LOT!   It's not so much about the amount of calories or about how many times a day you eat but the food you eat/drink.  I eat numerous times a day...in fact I feel like I am always eating but I limit my "bad" carbs and concentrate on Protein. If I have carbs they are usually from a banana, nuts or salad.  I rarely eat bread, potatoes, rice, or pasta.
