    Losing weight is a state of mind, if you walk into with a bad attitude that is the result your going get. It's not going to be easy, in fact it's going to be long and hard sometime a little stupid. But the MFP peeps are always here to help you through the hard days. You have got to remember that even when it gets tough your are going to push through... Good luck on your journy!

    I can SOO relate to your post. About 11 years ago I became completely obsessed with stepping on a scale and weighing myself 2,3,4 times a day! My husband was supportive but finally said..."you need to get rid of that scale, it's not worth it!" I got rid of the scale and joined TOPS where I was still accountable every week but it wasn't all consuming. Over a period of time, I lost 40 lbs. Since then I have put back on 30 of it. I have made the choice to start a healthier lifestyle and get moving again. I can't stand to exercise but seeing that with this program I can eat more if I exercise, is more motivating to keep trying. Last night I re-joined TOPS and stepped on the dreaded scale. I am creating small goals to reach for myself...5 lbs at a time. That way it doesn't seem as daunting of a task. Keep your head up and know that we are all in this together!!

    I was like you till my gynecologist made me get on the darn scale!!! Wah! I was a slug and a carboholic too. Using MFP is fun actually. I started here on 4-1 I believe and my exercise and eating habits have changed dramatically! I actually eat MORE then I did before but I eat real food instead of cereal or cake or pure carbs. It's a game of eating and exercising and staying in the green by the end of the day. And the bonus is losing weight.
    Good luck! If you've birthed a baby, well, then you can do anything you decide to do! :tongue:
