Scale Obssession

If I wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom I weigh myself. In the morning, before I brush my teeth, I weigh myself. When I come home from work, I weigh myself. I have to tell myself not to weigh myself every other time that I walk into my bathroom. I am going crazy chasing behind my scale. I stand on it at least two - three times every time I weigh myself. I need help. I need an intervention. Should I remove the scale from my house:tongue_smilie:? I should put it in the shed shouldn't I? Then I will only go out to weigh myself once a week. Maybe that will help. I don't want to become obsessive. Of course I will not be doing this until after I see below the number 300 on my scale. This morning I was at 301.6!!!! Yipppeee:lol:! So so sad. Who celebrates being 301 lbs? I do dammit. I was 332 last year. I was 314.2 on the day of my surgery. I think I may make 20 pounds gone by the end of my second week. That's my goal; to be 294.2 by April 6, 2008. Maybe I'll wait until then to take my scale out of the bathroom.

On a high note.... I burped alot less yesterday than any other day since surgery:thumbup:. Of course I had more gas. That may have been because I had cream of mushroom soup mixed with vegetable broth than I poured through a semi-fine strainer. I know that that cream stuff makes me gassy, but I wanted something with a little more texture:drool:. I'm so glad that my nutritionists approves of this. I do not know how people do a completely clear liquid diet for two weeks. Heck if I could do that I would not need the band. So anyway, no more creams this week. Today, its tomato soup mixed with vegetable broth. I also slowed down on the popsicles. I was sucking down like four a day!
