Compulsive weighing

[Dashofpixiedust8 1,469]

So I know I weigh myself too much. I weigh myself morning and night and sometimes in between. I'm just so fascinated with the numbers dropping!

I mean I had surgery on May 27th but I've had so many complications I haven't really been able to enjoy the weight loss.

Now that I feel better I weigh myself all the time. It just drops and drops.

I've lost 10 pounds since Saturday and it's now Tuesday and I just love seeing those smaller numbers.

Is it really harmful to keep weighing myself? I really have a hard time not getting on the scale....Did any of you have struggles with this?

Starting weight:540

Surgery weight 5/27: 480

Current weight:369

You are doing great !!!!!!

Let the progress inspire you to keep on plugging away and staying on track.

I generally weight daily...as soon as I wake up.

Embrace success and the great feels that come with it.

Thanks!!

It's really been a crazy ride

Congrats to YOU!!

My advice?

Do whateverthehell you want with that scale!!!!

Use it....don't...kick it to the curb....give it a place of honor in your home...

All you need to do is be true to you, work the program and enjoy the results as you see fit.

I used to weigh daily. Mornings, naked, after the bathroom lol

My weight loss slowed down over the last couple of weeks as I'm nearing goal, so I've backed off to every few days so I don't fall victim to thinking I'm stalling.

What I'm watching for now is no movement or a few ounces down.

As long as it isn't upward. I'm not ready for maintenance yet mentally. At 7 months out, I still see value in more loss, but if it's only 3-4 pounds a month for a few more months, that's fine.

I'll never NOT weigh... That's sticking your head in the sand.

Thank you!

Haha that's a good point! I know the weight loss is going to slow down as the months go on and I get closer to goal (though I'm still pretty far away from that.)

I agree about never not weighing. I couldn't ever do that!
