To Scale Or Not To Scale....
I'm not sure about any of you.... but i am what you would call a scale WHORE! I am constantly jumping on it. It's the worst thing on it there isn't a morning that passes that i don't step on it to see that i've only gone down .5lbs or none at all..... How do you stop yourself? eeeeek i really need to work on that. On a side note, I spoke to one of the nutritionist Ashley, and she helped me figure out a few ways to help keep myself sane on this detox since i still have another week and a half.... The more and more i'm on here reading all the bandsters blogs, it makes me more and more excited to see my own journey to getting healthy and finally seeing the real me in the mirror.... yay!

Gurl, I am the opposite of a scale whore! I only weigh myself once a week, because otherwiseI would agonize and beat the crap out of myself for every .4 up and down [or god forbid more than that!] I also tend to go the other way when I'm not on track - I just don't want to know, therefore it doesn't exist! I've discovered my happy medium is once per week, same day, approx. same time. I even measured the floor where I weigh to make sure it was level!! But I got a new scvale, and no matter what, that is my "true" scale - that way I don't get into my crazy way of thinking!! Which is pretty easy to do. Because I am a bit cray cray...but this keeps my scale obsession to a minimum. You have to find your own way, though. I read all the blogs I could get my hands on before my surgery - it is the best decision I ever made. Welcome to the club!
ReplyDeleteOh, and hey, I just posted a link to your blog over on mine, which will hopefully drive a few more peeps your way - the community support here is amazing!

ReplyDeleteNew follower here!! I was banded July 13th, so we're kind of close! I weigh once a day, nekkid before my shower.. Then I say, "It is what it is" and go on with my day - kind of a wierd ritual I've developed!!
