I'm finally ok with it

So I don't post very often but today I just can't contain myself.  So I've been having this rediculous pity party for about 3-4 weeks.  I have lost 46lbs since surgery on 12/12/13.  It feels really silly saying it but I was so upset that I wasn't seeing these huge numbers of loss when I stepped on the scale.  I ruminated on it every single day!  Well, I went to see my doctor and was scolded for being disappointed my weightloss.  I know it in my head but I just kept insisting somehow I wanted to see this huge I mean gigantic loss.  Well, anyhow after the NUT talked to me and became a bit irritated with me she said, "ok, lets look at your measurements."  Well, they measured me and to my surprise I have lost 6 inches in my waist, 3 incheds in my chest and 3 inches in my arms!  Now I'm thrilled!  So just beware that stupid scale really messes with your head. 

You can't let the scale define your daily attitude.  It's a vicious cycle that will cause you to make bad choices.

If you're following the program, getting all your water and exercising, the weight will come off.  Don't live and die by the numbers on a scale.  It's futile.

your doing great every one loses at a different speed, 46 lb in 3 months is great , that is 180 lb a year if you keep losing at that rate, most people don't keep up the good work

A good thing to remember..as you just experienced..is you will lose inches before pounds. A good guage to go by is how you feel in your clothes and see that you will go down in size. The weight will catch up with you. I promise! :-)

Good luck!

46 IS a huge number-- could you have pulled that off in this amount of time before surgery?

Every body is different, and very often those with bigger losses in the first 3 months have a much greater amount to lose overall.

You're doing great!
