Guest guest Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 Dear Ron... Since I have been obsessed with weight for my whole entire life, I decided that when I finally got to have this wonderful, life-saving surgery, that I would try to weigh myself only on my monthly anniversary date instead of every day, or every week. This has been SOOO hard to do...but so far, I have been able to do it...and guess what! It has been awesome! I have been so pleasantly suprised, and extremely happy with the results. It's just something that has worked so far for me, and I thought I would share it with you. Take good care...Luv and Hugs, Deb :-) p.s...We even took the scale outta the house so I wouldn't be tempted! > > give it some time.
