I AM DONE !!!!!!!!

[joagain]

OK  I am done with the scale , I am done with the measuring , I am done with keto sticks .

I AM DONE STRESSING ABOUT LOSING !!!!!!!

I think Umpa told me the stress of worrying about how much I am losing is causing me not to lose ,so That is it I am living the FTS lifestyle because of 2 reasons ,the way it makes me feel !! My other reason is because of Tylers blood sugars since he started doing Mostly FTS !!!

I have a pair of pants that are 3 sizes smaller then what I was wearing when I started FTS In Sept. The go on but are very tight ,when I can wear those comfortably then I will know something is happening ! I will not weigh or measure or check keytones for at least a month ! I told Tyler to hide them all today !!!!

Thanks guys just wanted to post this to help me break my NEW addiction's that are driving me crazy since I got over my sugar/bread addictions !!!!!

KUDOS TO YOU, JO!!!

Understanding and admitting that we are carb addicts is the first step in our "recovery" (weight loss).

You have recognized something else very important... During "recovery", becoming addicted to weight loss measurement is very easy.
It is a matter of trading one addiction for another.
It's very natural for the addictive mindset.

In order to be truly free, we must not let ANY other addiction take over.
The point of losing weight is to be healthier... The point of being healthier is to be happier... Being happier is being FREE!!!

That's a great idea Jo. We all stress about that darn scale and it can become overwhelming.
Just stepping back and living your life is what it's all about. It will come off and stressing will make it come off slower.

Send me a message if you need to blow off some steam.

Thanks Guys !! Yes Tony I knew before I started FTS that I had a Carb addiction as bad as any other kind of addiction out here just didnt know that if I just stoped eating them that I would detox I had tried cutting carbs down but not enough to detox .

Still today I cant believe I did it !! It is a real blessing . My whole family has OCD so it is easy for us to get on something and just go at it until it drives us crazy .
 That is what I was doing with the whole weight loss thing ,comparing to everyone ,getting on the scale once a week then everyday then 2-3 times a day. Just another thing I am getting rid of .
 If I could only OCD over exercise . LOL

That's awesome, Jo. I let my scale set my mood, too, and it can really suck sometimes. Good luck and enjoy life! I think your ticker has changed since I last saw it, so you must be doing something right.

Scales can be VERY evil

[SherriPie]

Seriously evil those scales. That is probably why mine gets hidden from me periodically.

Good for you!  I need to do the same.  In the past my hubby has hidden the scale on me for a week at a time.  I think I need to tell him to do it again.  I know you shouldn't weigh yourself daily, but still it's the first thing every morning that I do.  And of course, it affects my mood even though I know weight fluctuates some from day to day.  Evil Scale!

Jen take it from me dont trade one addiction for another . I would be feeling good and light like I had lost weight step on the scale and bam gained the 1 pound it took me a month to lose , real mood changer for me

 It will probably be a hard habit to break as my sugar addiction , but I did it and I will do this one too !
