Determined's weight loss journey

**Determined** · 09-23-2005, 04:22 PM

I think this will help me keep focused. I weighed in at 150 today and I am very happy. I am worried about my will power this weekend but I am going to try to stay focused. I am addicted to the scale so yes I weigh everyday. I think I am going to have my fiance hide it and give it to me every monday of this journey. He would to love to have that control. HE HATES MY SCALE. He says that number always determines what mood i am going to be in that day. He is being very supportive though. I am lucky enough to be a cardiopulmonary therapist so my co workers have done 3 EKG's on me this week. The phen is not effecting my heart at all yet. I did order these online but the doctors that I work with at the hospital are watching me. We also did my blood pressue and all is well there also. I am a little more at ease about this now that I know that it is not effecting my health.

I know how it is with the scale. i have to weigh myself everyday or I kind of go crazy all day wondering if there are any changes. But is more like I rather see a lower number or no change than going up a pound or two. When I see that extra pound it does make me moody for the rest of the day. But oh well as much as I hate my scale I still can't live without it.

I know that I have said don't weigh every day!! Okay, I have become guilty. I discovered that if I check it in the morning and see no change or a slight increase, it motivates me to workout more and be more careful that day. I know that it's not always accurate but it's close, so I can use the extra motivation.

I will give up the scale Monday :? I was thinking today, but this first week is exciting.

I did good yesterday except I did not go to the gym. I feel like I did not really do anything active yesterday. I am feeling a little guilty. I think I probably will stay double time at the gym today. I am still at 150 and excited that the scale is staying down. I just want to see the 140's. This is the hump that I always have trouble getting over. Yesterday I did not take the pill with the welbutrin and I felt alot more moodier and I feel that it did not work as well. So I am going back to taking them together.

I am so hooked to my scale too. I am weighing all day. My friend threatened to keep it at her house and have me do weekly weigh ins. I want to see that next 10 pound mark also.
