Hiding The Scale

[chad2rad 491]

Was jumping on the scale once or twice a day. I stayed the same this week, but I am wearing a smaller shirt and pulled my belt buckle in a notch!

Thinking even once or twice a month may be better for weigh in. Want to focus on a better life not a number.

Yeah, it is hard to stay away from the scale. Great philosophy to work on better life and not a number...I will have to remember this when I get sleeved.

I plan on taking my weight and measurements monthly from the day of my surgery, 12/19. I don't want to obsess about the scale, I see too many people on here panic when they have a stall. When my clothes fall off I'll know I'm good lol

I had my hubby hide the scale. I cant not step on it every time I go in there. Now it is just once a week and much better!

The latter is a better plan. I don't have enough control to only weigh twice a month. Lol. It takes lots of will power from me to weigh only once a week. It also is a good idea to take measurements. This helped get me through a couple stalls.

Great idea on taking measurements. I should do that tomorrow for the "starting" measurements. I have an old unreliable scale and keep thinking I should replace it before surgery but I cam be compulsive about weighing myself even before I've had surgery so for now I am just relying on the weigh ins at the doctors office.

I have refused to purchase a scale right now. I will when I am 3months postoperative.

From the start i've decided that there will be no scale in my house. I see a doctor/nut enough that if i only gauge my weight-loss off visits to their office i will be okay. Its worked out great so far, and i've only gained once, but that was within 24 hrs and 2 different dr scales (one was digital and the other was analogue, and it was a diff of about 1 pound).

No need to obsess over a number when i can just focus on how i feel...
