A watched pot never boils

Jun 20, 2015

I swore I wouldn't become someone obsessed with the numbers. Then I became someone obsessed with the numbers. And the number seem to crawl at a snails pace. Realizing I was becoming stressed and fretting, I decided on Thursday I would not check my weight until Monday. That's been quit tricky because as much as I used to crave food I now crave the scale. 

I put on a pair of stretchy pants and they were tight. I convinced myself that I've gained weight but still managed not to check my weight. IT's possible the paints shrunk in the dryer as they're synthetic and they used to fit before the 20lb weight loss. It's unlikely I gained 20lbs in a few days eating only 400 calories a day so I just needed to take a step back. I'll check Monday and hope I've lost more weight. Tuesday will be week three gone since surgery. Fingers crossed that I've lost 5-6lbs this week. That's what I'm really hoping for. We'll see. No watching the scales.
