changed scales

Mar 23, 2010

I changed scales and my new one is 3 lbs different than my old one.  Ugh, that is killing me. I am now at 221 instead of 218.  So I can't update my ticker. But my new scale is soo consistent, it just stinks right now. I find it hard to eat now, it isn't fun anymore. It hardly seems worth the effort, for the 3 or 4 bites I can eat. I actually had a meltdown yesterday, I just wanted to eat. I was crying over food!!
I've been hitting up the gym, working out pretty hard. I can really tell on my body. The gym is a good thing. I stayed on the treadmill between 3.4 and 4.2 for an hour and 15 minutes. Oh I hurt when I got off. I was determined to make the scale move, it did, I gained .2 pounds! Not what I had in mind. I use the weight lifting machines as well. I must be building muscle (at least I hope that is what is going on). My body is changing, but I am not losing a pound. It is very disturbing, especially combined with the switching scales. In saner moments I know I am losing fat, but sometimes I just wish the numbers would change.
Tomorrow I will be taking my 2 month pictures, I'll post them and hopefully there will be a big enough difference for everyone to see.
I am so glad I got the sleeve. I KNOW I would never have lost weight with dieting. Thee have been several times since my surgery that I would have pigged out- without being hungry- I just really wanted to EAT BIG FOOD!   I cannot  :(  
I am so thankful for my sleeve.
