Weighing matters

I weigh every day.  I know. I know.  Every one says it's not good for you.  But I have a heart defect.  I weigh every day to make sure I'm not taking on fluid.  I weigh every day to make sure my salt intake isn't too much.  I weigh every day to make sure I'm eliminating what I put in.  I have read horror stories about VSG patients being admitted into the hospital for constipation.  I so don't like hospitals.  So I weight every day.

The trick is not getting to caught up in the number.  I face my fear every day I get on the scale.  When I don't magically lose 5 pounds over night, I take a deep breath and repeat to myself that I am not a failure.  That this will take time.  A year at least.  If not more.  Breathe in and breathe out.  The weight will come off if I follow the rules.  If I stick to the plan and do as I am told, I will lose the weight.  I have to have faith.
