It was liberating too.....maybe I need to see a 'therapist' about this?  It was great because after I threw it down about 3-4 times it broke into 2 pieces...the top came off the bottom, which exposed the internal wiring & I just ripped all of that wiring out.  Then I threw the entire 'hot mess' out the back door.  My husband can clean it up for me because I am done!

It's crazy to think that we let a "gadget" dictate how we feel about ourselves, isn't it?  I'm totally the same way - and depending on whether I'm up or down affects how I feel about myself.  But most of us have lived our whole lives chasing around a number.  If we're there, we're good.  If we're not, we're a failure.  I wouldn't be that hard on someone else, so I can't imagine why I do that to myself.  Anyway - I'm proud of you.  It's about the progress you've made, the positive changes, and being healthier, and you're doing all that :)

Stall rage much?

How long have you been stalled now? 

I don't allow myself to weigh except once every 2 weeks.  Otherwise, I'm jumping on it every day and obsessing over bacon (up), sugar (laxative so down), etc.  I need to focus on other things besides the day to day swings on my weight.

I have a pair of slacks in size 12 in my closet.  I try them on when ever I feel like I want to use the scale.  Amazing.  Even when I'm stalled, I went from size 16 to size 14.   The absolute number on that scale is too harsh to get clubbed with every morning.

It has been 3 weeks now & is really ****ing me off!  I am normally a pretty patient person....I have 2 & 4 year old kids.. trust me, I know patience, but the scale had to be 'dealt' with this morning!!!

I'm hearing ya.  I stalled at 2 months for about 7 weeks.  I was freakin out, and I was pissed - since I paid for my surgery myself.  So when it stopped working, I was looking for someone to throttle! 

It's gets to be nerve wracking when it goes on week after week....  Hang in there.
