Does anyone have a scale addiction?



Recommended Posts

I am also extremely obsessed! Does anyone else notice that they lose weight AFTER a shower? Yep, .5 lbs sometimes. Also, a hot bath. Somedays I will take it anywhere I can get it.

We did hide the scale today. It is too much of a disappointment when you exercise, eat right, drink your Water, and gain 2 lbs. :omg: now, unless I cheat, it is once a week, on Friday mornings. My DH says that way we will have worked all week and it is before the weekend!

2 weeks til my first fill, hopefully then the scale will take a swift dive. :nervous

I know exactly where everyone is coming from...I am now trying to break my addiction to the scales...It can be depressing some times to step on it every morning with such a small if any change...I am on my 3rd day of not weighing in and am trying to go till the 27th before I step on that scale so I can be totally excited with the loss (I hope)...Breaking the habit might as well have a 12 step program

I've heard that, but I get into trouble when I don't weigh in every day. I've learned to be OK with the not moving/going up when I know I've been eating well. But when I'm not eating well, I avoid the scale, and go right on up.

Ok....everytime I try to lose weight, I become addicted to the scale. I hop on at least 3 times a day to see where I am....even though I KNOW it hasn't moved. LOL When I did Atkins, I used the keto-sticks every time I pee'd to make sure they still turned pink. Does anyone else get like this? I am getting next week, and don't want the scale to run my life. I might just have to throw it away and drive somewhere to weigh myself.

I weigh myself 3-5 times a day, I know it is becoming a problem. I expect it to go down from morning to mid-morning, dinner whatever. I assume it should move down constantly and when it doesn't move I am a wreck....

I don't know how to beat it. I have to have it. I think it is the only thing getting me through this.... I am glad and saddened I am not the only one.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
