Day 154 – Weigh in day!!!

I don’t like to weigh myself as the numbers fuck with my head, fuck with my self-esteem and fuck with my self worth. I am scared to be weighed. I hate it, I loathe it and I fear jumping on the scales and seeing what damage I have done to myself. I would seriously prefer to pet a snake whilst having cockroaches crawl all over my body than weigh myself.

Okay, so having said all that I hope you now understand and realize why I don’t weigh myself. Every time you readers ask me where I am at with my weight loss I cringe. I hate it. But I have to real to not only myself but to you my readers. I mean, lets get real this blog is supposed to be a little bit about my weight loss right?

So drum roll please, brrrrrr, brrrrrr, brrrrr (that’s the drum roll) I jumped on the scales at mums and my starting weight was 120 kilos and I am now down to 93 kilos which is a total loss of 27 kilos in 5 months and 1 day post surgery. It has taken me YEARS to get to double digits. I feel like this is all a dream. Is this a dream? Is this real?

I jumped on and off 15 times holding my breath each and every time. Do other people have this sort of relationship with the scales or is it just me?

Am I happy? I am fucking ecstatic. This for me has to be my personal best that I have ever achieved. Do I still have a long way to go? Absofuckinglutely but I am happy with my progress. I know of a lot of people who have lost heaps more and in a shorter span of time and I am ever so proud of them but sadly my body or my metabolism is always a lot slower than others. Even with all the movement and exercise. Ce la vie!!

I don’t know when I will weigh myself next. I know I will do it but it wont be for a while. If you could only have felt my heart prior to stepping on the scales. My heart was thumping; I was internally questioning myself on how badly I had eaten. I felt guilty and I don’t know why. I have a very bad relationship with the scales. I am sometimes on the verge of hyperventilating.

So I sign off, chuffed and happy with myself and happy that I have had this surgery. Yeah I know I have questioned this whole surgery a few days back and there are days when I want the band out especially with all the vomiting but friends, haters, family, everyone its all good!!

Peace Out

Hello Girls,

Maree please do not apologise!!! No, no, no!!! I had to weigh myself and everyone and I mean everyone has been emailing me and asking me so I bit the bullet, closed my eyes took a deep breath in and did it. Makes me wonder though, do you weigh more if you are holding your breath???

Also, thanks Rish and Mel!!!
