Default I'm with ya!

I'm a month out tomorrow and my scale hasn't moved in 12 days We must have the same scale! Mine sits in front of my bathroom window and it's been very tempting to toss it out!

I'm with you here Debz...it's very frustrating to try your best and not see results. BUT, my results are coming in as inches lost...as measured by smaller clothes fitting. And no, I haven't been exercising.


Have you measured yourself since surgery? (Did you before surgery?) I was very happily surprised to go from a 22 to an 18.


So try on a few smaller clothes! You never know!

I'm thinking of tossing my brand new really cool scale...because it hates me. I swear it does. It talks about me behind my back...and stares evilly up at me with the same old number. I swear I can hear it cackle when I leave the room. Treacherous bitch....LOL.

I feel like I rerouted my innards and wound up with this stupid diaphragmatic hematoma just to lose 25 pounds....period. I feel duty bound and way too stubborn toward all the people in my life who questioned my decision, to admit buyer's remorse out loud, but it sure is tempting to admit it quietly in my heart. I know intellectually this will pass...but I guess I'm having my own pity party. And I can't even have cake at my own damn party! How fair is that?

I guess I'll just go tie a knot and hang on...maybe I'll clip my toenails and see if that makes the scale move....
