The Evil Scales

Jan 31, 2009

You can say that I am obsessed with the scales, weighing at least 6 times a day.  Immediately after post op, it was great.  I would lose weight pretty much every day.  In this past month, I have only lost 2-3 pounds and it was killing me to weigh and not  lose any weight. 

I read a challenge here the other day from the message board to not weigh for the month of February.  I am going to try it.  I have asked my son to hide the scales here at home.  It will be tougher at work.  I work at a doctor's office, and we have scales around every corner!  I have to try and be strong. 

I think I am done with my latest plateau, so it will be exciting to weigh at the end of February to see how much I have lost for the month.  I can't wait!


2/13/09  Forget it.  I have quit all my other addictive behaviors, but I just can't quit this one.  I stayed off the scales for 3 days, and I am back to weighing 5-6 times per day.  But, my latest plateau is over and I am losing again.  So the scales aren't so EVIL right now.
