Yo Yo Dieter finally hiding the scale

In 2013 I worked my butt off and went from 165lbs to 118. I wasn't healthy, I ate terribly and very little and worked out too hard. Fast forward to today and I've just been a yo yo. In that time I've had two major hip surgeries and one major abdominal surgery which set back my exercising. I've finally found a system that works for me, juicing a couple snacks a day seems to keep my cravings gone and I just eat when I'm hungry. I eat as little processed food as possible but still indulge every now and then. I think I've finally convinced that stubborn part of my brain that slow and steady ALWAYS wins. I've decided when I get home today that I will be putting my scale away and only bringing it out once a week until I can remember that it isn't all about the scale. It's about a healthy lifestyle. I sympathize with anyone who struggles to please the scale...it's a tough battle! As of today I am 148.2 with a goal of a healthy 125.
