******** 397 Posted June 7, 2013 I figured I'd weigh at my doctors check ups. I can't see weighing myself and obsessing over it daily. Anyone else? I have a scale but no need to obsess...I only weigh once per week..I couldn't imagine going 4 months without weighing myself. I have drs appts at 2 weeks then 2 months then not again til 6 months and then a year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lavender 28 Posted June 7, 2013 I don't own a scale either. I weigh in every week at Weight Watchers. I do own a food scale and I weigh my food. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But really somedays I wish I could chuck mine out of the window, but I'm terribly OCD and I have my scale rituals... LMFAO!!! I have a digital scales that connects to my phone via wifi and connects to MFP. But I have a problem with weighing myself several times a day. Then I'll go to the bathroom and weigh myself again. It's obsessive...but I can't help it. 2 doreen70 and No game reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LouiseC 1,031 Posted June 7, 2013 I weigh daily but definitely don't obsess. I can sort of understand why others may obsess but really I have found the scales provide me with far too much information about my journey and my choices to do without them. I think I would perhaps obsess if I didn't have them and if I didn't have access to that information about my body and the changes it has gone through. I have learnt so much about Water retention/ dehydration issues from weighing daily, the impact of exercise, my bodies fluctuations through my menstrual cycle, the impact of a high processed food day or a boozy night. I expect the fluctuations and expect the scales to move about the place not to constantly drop. Perhaps that is the difference? The scales are just a tool to help me manage, measure, and learn. And that learning eases my anxiety and is perhaps the antithesis of obsession as a consequence. Edit to add, I weigh at the same time every day, first thing in the morning. I don't hop on during the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liteNsun 58 Posted June 7, 2013 I don't use a scale and don't plan on using one. It is too depressing. I only "look" at the numbers when required. MY Clothes let me know what I need to know. Post op, I plan on waiting for weekly intervals so the numbers don't keep me fretting. 1 momofjal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I felt I had been doing really good and the scale was disappointing, then I'd give, get pissed off, and have a treat. Over and over and over . Once I've had surgery I plan on once a week max, that's one of my rules I will not break.
