Heheh ok here's whats up today... I go get my stitches removed-I had 3 on my chest from a blood mole that had to be removed.Yuck! Anyway, I ask the Doc if I can get my prescription for my phentermine refill and she says to wait a month to weigh in because I might gain the weight back-wtf? I surely hope not! I'm eating just fine now, I eat good stuff (lots of protein!) I say no to cookies and cake.(But I say yes to drugs! I heart you Phen) LoL
So I weigh in today at the Doc and I lost another 5 pounds-yipee!! It's fast loss and Im scared but I'm eating just fine so I shouldn't worry, right? I havent been very active this past week or so with the stitches and all. I was supposed to stay "dry" in that area...Boy, taking a bath was quite a scene. I tried so hard avoiding that spot-It's like on my upper left boob. How am I supposed to keep that dry?! What about washing my hair? Ugh! I felt like a child with a big plastic cup dumping water on me and knowing I'm missing spots-geez!! So Doc says I can wet it now 'relief' and Softball starts again in September but we're actually going to practice so we start playing soon. That'll keep me active for a bit. I'm still lousy at catching fly balls...but maybe practice...might make me better? LoL I hope I can keep the loss going-especially now that I can run and jump and sweat all I want again. Stupid mole.
I think I might buy a scale today...LOL No I don't have one- I'm scared I might weigh myself every day and see nothing. But I know I should get one. I told my mom about my weight loss, assuming she'd be happy...and she freaks out and says "I'm gonna be so unhealthy or get fat again because I'm on stupid drugs." And she went on and on about my health and that it's too fast... I guess it was my fault for letting her know. Blah. Whatever.

The scale
If you work out at the gym at all, I say use the scale there. I bought one and the scale is my drug. This morning I looked at it fondly and said "I wish I knew how to quit you."
If you haven't already bought a scale, don't do it! I completely agree with illegally blonde's comments. Use the one at the gym. I've had a very tumultuous and dysfunctional relationship with my scale. A low number? I'm all smiles and sunshine. A number higher than what I expected? Watch out! This past spring, I gave up my scale for Lent. During this time, I managed to drop 19 pounds. Granted, I was eating right and exercising but instead of focusing on a number, I focused on doing what I knew would cause the weight to come off. I wasn't obsessing. The number wasn't constantly rattling around in my head taunting me. I spent those 40 days doing the things that I knew needed to be done, and I was rewarded for it in the end.
I'm on another scale fast, and while I'm anxious to see how much I weigh, I don't need it to validate my efforts. I know I'm doing well because I see it when I look in the mirror and when I get dressed and when I go to the gym and I can work out harder and longer.
Okay, I've rambled long enough. Congrats on the 5 pound loss! Keep it up!!!
I have to agree with part of what they said, I had about a year without a scale, wasn't really being serious about the diet. I picked up a scale in Target and stood on it...OMG it showed a 20 lb weight loss. I tried 3 more scales all showed the same thing. I bought that scale and brought it home LOL now I step on the stupid thing daily and everytime I walk by it. I only count my first weight on Sunday mornings tho'. Good thing, my weight has gone up 3 lbs so far today..LOL
The scale has been the bane of my existence. Don't make the bane of yours, haha. The scale is actually not that bad, obviously. I'm just a bit bitter because I'm on the pill and bloated which doesn't help my number or the scale, and have no reason to be on the pill and bloated anymore.
Thank you for your support! It's much appreciated. It's funny, because part of the reason I don't want to eat ice cream is I want to look damn good the next time he sees me, so he'll regret breaking up with me. I shouldn't even be thinking about seeing him, considering he broke up with me over the phone! And yea, thanks for the body shape compliment too. I just took down my pix bc I can't look at my body right now!
I live in Arlington. It's not too bad.
I relate to what you said about your parents. Mine, especially my father, give me a really hard time about not being thin. At one point in time, my father used to call me cow, "jokingly". Grr to parents! But you're doing so great :) Phen sounds nice now.
