Does the number really matter?

[readyanxiousscared 57]

I've read many different posts by numerous members and the common theme is an obsession with the scale. Will it move this? Why hasn't it moved? And the list goes on... I want to know does that obsession with the scale ever go away? I want to believe that the visual change in my body will suffice, like my back fat disappearing or my thighs no longer rubbing or crossing my legs without using my hand to pull up my leg and keep it up (lol). I've been obsessed with the numbers on the scale for far too long and that obviously got me no where. I just want to love my body a.k.a. love the skin I'm in.

Hi. Because I know my OCD tendencies I choose not to own a scale. I am more than happy working on my body on my own without being obsessed with the scale. The last time I weighed myself was at my last Dr appointment in Feb. My next appointment in April I will find out how much more I have lost. So far I have gone from a size 20 to a 14 in 2.5 months. It works for me.

You can be successful. I read your post about the girl with the cheetos and M&M's. That was one of my fears, that I would revert back to old eating habits. The funny thing about the sleeve is some things you can not tolerate anymore and others you don't crave. I'm not saying everything goes away, the erg is still there. Today I tried a cookie...one cookie. I felt so sick and I threw it up. I won't be doing that any time soon. You can do it. The more you lose the more determined you become! Some people just lose slower than others. Good luck to you!
