Weigh in Rule Change

While I have been obsessed with the lack of weight movement this last week, Chad helped me to realize that I need to stop weighing so much.  I have been a regular "weigher" for the bulk of my adult life.  Well, at least the last 10 years of it.  I weigh daily and it seems, I am going to have to change that practice.

Intead of spending the last week upset about the weight I didn't lose, I should have been happy about the weight I did lose the previous week.  Stepping on the scale every morning expecting to see change just to have it leave me standing at the altar, was not a great way to start my day.  So, with that in mind:

Behavior Change
I will only weigh once a week on picture day (Saturdays)

Plan for Success
Take the scale out of the bathroom and place it in the linen closet
Weigh-in's will be Saturday mornings, right before pictures

I am grateful for the 18lbs I have lost in the last 2 weeks and for the 30 I have lost from my heighest weight ever.  I am grateful that I had the strength to make the decision to have WLS and the fortitude to commit 100% to changing my life, permanently.  It was time to take the step.....  I did it, and am on my way to being the best me possible.
