Numbers

One of my goals is not to obsess about the numbers on the scale. Wellness, not weight, is my focus. I want to use the numbers (whatever they may be) as motivation at time, but without getting hung up on whether I have lost 400 grams or gained 200.

When I was on Weight Watchers, I would do all sorts of things to make sure that I was as light as possible: wear light clothes, take off my shoes, go braless, not wear a watch, etc... As if that really matters! I look and feel the same with or without a watch (and without a bra, I know I look much worse!)

So, at the doctor's office for my initial consultation, I looked at the scales: 107.4 kilos. BMI of 37.something. I am not planning to step on the scales until surgery day when I cannot avoid it. It will be interesting to see what effect the Optifast starvation regime has had and I do want to be able to track things from The Big Day with some degree of accuracy.
