Weighing In?

[slimchicbrookie 8]

Hi all!

I have been on here just reading and getting super inspired, but the more I read the more questions I think of! Most of them will go to my doc and his awesome team but I was just wanting to put this one out there...How often do you weigh yourself?

I do not own a scale and I do not want to own one even after my sleeve(which I hope to get real real soon!!!) Do you feel like it is better to not be controlled by the number between your two "big" piggies? I am more looking foward to all the none scale victories and all the healthy times ahead but should I only get weighed once a month at my docs office? When I say it out loud it really doesn't seem bad I never weigh myself now so why change. I just feel that when I start losing really noticable weight I will want to weigh myself all the time. Will this be a bad thing? More than anything I just want to know how others feel about weighing in???

Thanks to all who inspire me daily!!

Hi there!

I've been very careful about weighing in because, like you, I don't want to be obsessed. I do weigh in once a week, but very rarely in between. It's inspiring to me to weigh once a week.

Pre-sleeve I used to hardly ever weigh myself. 2 weeks in after sleeve, I weigh myself everyday. It has become an obsession. I'm hoping it tapers off

I weigh myself every morning. But I write it down also and keep track of my intake in case I need to manipulate something. But as far as being a slave lol no I am not

I weigh myself every day and I'm pre- op. Over the years, like all on the site, I have tried many diets. I found that I was more successful when I weighed daily. It helps keep me accountable. When I go periods of time without weighing, that's when I put my weight out of my mind and before I know it, I've gained several, several pounds. So, I know that everyone is different. You will have to figure out what works for you! I plan to weigh daily forever!
