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.
Those are great changes to make! In the beginning, we were weighing too often too. Also, I hit a plateau on week 3, and daily weighing became really discouraging. At this point, I hop on the scale maybe twice a week, and that's enough for me to get a good idea of the overall trend without seeing all the tiny fluctuations.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you are doing great!
I still weigh daily. It's the OCD in me, for me, I've started taking my measurements weekly as well. That has really helped me because on the weeks I don't lose at all, it seems like I lose WAY more inches. Last week I only lost 1 pound, but 9 inches-6 from my stomach!!!
