Feeling Thin Today and When to Weigh

Since my lower body lift, I have been having problems with obsessing over gaining weight. I have reached a weight and a size that surpasses my dreams. I never imagined that I would be fitting into clothes that are a size 6, 8 or 10. So, everything should be great now, right? Instead I am constantly worried that I will gain the weight back.

Since my gastric bypass surgery I have been a daily weigher. I have felt that this helps keep me on the straight and narrow. I have gotten used to the daily fluctuations in my weight and I thought I was ok with them. However, before my recent vacation, my weight went up three weeks in a row. I wasn't doing anything differently and I was concerned that the upward momentum wouldn't stop. I decided not to change anything until after vacation and then see what happened. So, while I was on vacation I lost 3.5 pounds of the weight I gained prior to vacation.

Since this has been going on for a while, I decided to see somebody to discuss this issue and see if I can get some peace around this issue and just enjoy my weight loss. The suggestion I got was that daily weighing might not be the thing for me. I'm not sure if I agree with this, but I am willing to give it a try in the hopes that it will help. Realizing my panic over the thought of not weighing every day, it was suggested that I pick one day not to weigh myself. I picked today as the day. A little while ago, I was walking down the hall and I thought to myself, I feel thin. Had I weighed myself this morning and found that I was up I probably never would have had this moment. Maybe, there is something to not weighing every day??
