So today, as usual I stepped on the scale. It read the numbers I knew it would...a loss of 24lbs. AWESOME? YES! Sometimes though, it is discouraging. I am a compulsive weigher and that will never change. It keeps my eating into perspective...(yes, my band does the biggest part of the perspective part) and that will never change either. I took my measurements a while back after my surgery. I thought to myself today, let me see, although my clothes fit differently, and I am in between sizes, and some STILL do not fit, let me see what kind of change my body has done. I couldn't believe it, after measuring all the parts that I did before...I have a total loss of 30 inches. This is fantastic for me. It keeps my spirits up and I know I have made the right decision. Do I slip up sometimes and eat the wrong foods? YES. Who doesn't? As I said in a previous post, it takes a while to reprogram years and years of bad choices and eating. I am 55 days out and loving my life AND MY BAND. I wear better clothes, I am more active, and I cannot help but be so very excited for what is to come. I would make this choice 100 times over again.

I LOVE being a BANDITA!:thumbup:

Congrats!!!

There is nothing wrong with weighing yourself 100 times a day. Just record it once a week or once a month and you will be able to see the weight loss happening.
