I really can't complain too much about my new and improved body... except for my arms! When I look in the mirror at them, I just want to cry! I had a tummy tuck two years after I had lap band surgery and had lost 100 pounds.

I have to tell myself not to weigh myself every other time that I walk into my bathroom. I am going crazy chasing behind my scale. I stand on it at least two - three times every time I weigh myself. I need help. I need an intervention. Should I remove the scale from my house? I should put it in the shed...
