Last week, I had the chance to find out what I weigh. The nurse weighed me at the hospital before surgery. I will confess that I was tempted to look down. I still wonder sometimes if I've gained weight, lost any or stayed the same. Thankfully, I don't think of it often and it has no affect on how I enjoy my life.

The last time I saw my weight was April 1st (to write the conclusion to Cottage Cheese Thighs) and I truly appreciate living without the scale. I'm proud of myself for resisting it when I could have easily peaked and no one would have known about it. Fortunately, I've already realized that I'm better off not knowing.

I know I'm healthy and active. My weight is irrelevant to my happiness, my capabilities or my value as a person. That's all I really need to know!
