the scales of injustice

i guess i should be happy that the scale says 299 and i am under 300...but this whole scale thing is kind of bothering me.... i have had this problem in the past....especially when i was a member of the Scale Watchers/Welcome to Eating Disorder World Cult (I mean Weight Watchers -- but that rant is for another day).

i also remember blogging once after hitting this exact same milestone that i would never weigh over 300 again. HA! even with the help of the lap-band...i am bitter and jaded enough right now not to say that again. maybe in a couple months after bandster hell. but not today. trying to stay realistic about this.

i wish they would invent a network of satellite controlled scales (note: must talk to the rocket scientist i know) -- because there is nothing more crushing than leaving your house thinking you have a 2 1/2 pound loss to get to the Cult and see you had an 0.8 pound gain.

so i think for this final journey into weight loss i am just going to "be" with the scale issue. i will use my own scale to chart my progress and let the doctor use his own scale to chart my progress in his office.

also, i will use my clothes as an indicator. and since my favorite jeans were hula-hooping around my waist all day yesterday i will take this 299 and celebrate. and by celebrate i don't mean going out to eat at the sushi buffet like i would after Cult meetings...

later today i am going to work on my goals/prizes list.
