Scale Victory–at the bottom of a decade

Defining a decade as a weight between say 140.0 – 149.9  especially since my Aria scale weighs that finally.  I’m .8 pounds from entering a new decade.

I’ve whined before how my weight works – I’m usually in a 5 pound range depending on how efficiently my gastro-intestinal system is working. 

My scale also weighs about 5 pounds higher than any doctor’s scale I’ve been on including the scale they used the day I had lap band surgery.

And I’m coming up on the anniversary of that.

I choose the lap band because I knew mentally and physically I couldn’t handle a drastic weight loss – when I got the surgery I was gaining 10 pounds a month over more than a six month period  (no, I’m not kidding or exaggerating).  In fact, in light of that fact, one of my counselors pointed out even if I’m not losing weight, I’m STIL not gaining that 10 pounds a month.  I’m not sure that is really true, BUT

The deal is, the lap band is accomplishing what I wanted – allow me to lose weight at a rate my head and body is comfortable with.
