Obsession!

I am 12 weeks post surgery and I find myself constantly on the scale. Ive always had a scale in my bathroom, just because. But I now think I need to throw it away or atleast hide it. I find myself weighing myself daily. And, depending on what the scale tells me determines how good of an day Im going to have. I find myself setting these most outlandish goals each month, which I havent met one. I am losing weigh and it feels great! I didnt expect to get off the operating table and be a size 5 again, I know it takes time and work. But my obsession with this scale is playing tricks on my mind and not allowing me to appreciate the progress that Ive made. I constantly say Im just gonna throw the scale away or move it from the bathroom so its not always there in my face... But I never do. And then I tell myself Im not getting on it today but I do it anyways. When does this obsession with my current weight end? Hopefully when I reach my goal.
