I hopped on the scale this morning before my shower 3 times and there is definitely something wrong with it. It kept saying I weigh 138... NOT. I wish I did, but I know better. So I went to the hall bathroom and checked my weight there and got the real weight. I weighed in at 146. While it's not great, it's come down a few pounds since my weigh in when I saw the Dr after I hurt my hand it said I weighed 151.9, so the trend is moving in the right direction. I'll check the scale in my master bathroom again later to see if it's still giving a false low reading. If so, maybe checking the batteries is in order. 

I'm trying to decide where I want my weight to be. I think I want to be in the mid 140's. I like the way I feel and my face looks there, but I like the way my body looks when I'm in the high 130's/low 140's... I guess just getting back to the mid 140's now allows me to take a deep breath and sigh of relief. I can't tell you how much the number 150 rattled me. I guess it's because I am more than 2 years out and I don't want to be one of the regain statistics and it can happen so easily. 

The good news is that I was relatively easily able to get my weight back down to a place that feels 'safer.' I didn't have to starve or even diet. What I did do was become more aware of what I was doing and made myself accountable for it... I am hoping that I have found the key to my own long term success which for me is not just losing the weight, but keeping it off.
