not just a number on the scale

Sep 27, 2014

I saw my surgeon o sept. 4th 2014 and he said I was doing well and that he wanted me to loose minimum of 10lbs and maximum of 15lbs and no more he wants me to be healthy and not to just think of reaching a number on the scale he does want me to maintain my weight saying I have to weigh myself often but to not let the scale over take me knowing people have fluctuations when we have water retention to constipation ... when the scale will have an higher number then we will have the days when the scale will be normal when our body is not going threw changes but ok. I wanted to lose 30lbs more but I only been looking at a number on the scale I do not have to use my walker nor my cane or my heavy knee brace I also was off of my two high blood pressure pills one week after my surgery and off of my high cholesterol meds after a month I can walk 5 miles and do various exercises with no problem some not so perfect but at least I am moving I eat more healthier and still is working on getting better with it. I am slowly but steadily getting there every day is a journey on the path of getting closer to a more rounded person. I am also working on getting out more around people and one day a relationship with someone for life but now I tell people I am being selfish and taking care of me so I am learning to like me and love me and like the scale and live life and love life and I pray every one that is on this journey or will be taking this journey do not rush do not just think of numbers on a scale but your health in total do not worry about people saying don't lose any more weight or you should lose more weight do not compare yourself with any one but yourself your journey will have ups and downs but if you don't give up you will end up with ups and no more downs and between you and your dr and your body you will know when the scale has reached your goal of healthiness for you god bless all
