Breaking Up With My Scale

[o00 494]

I have been that person that has to weigh daily. Now I'm trying to stop that. I know I'm eating according to my personalized plan from my nutritionist. I work out regularly . Inches are coming off. All I need to do is stop obsessing about the number on the scale.

With that being said the scale will no longer be out in the open in the bathroom so I am not tempted to jump on it. So long scale. We will see each other once every two weeks.

I was never one to weigh daily but a lot of my friends were. They drove themselves nutty with numbers. I refused to do that. I'm one to forget to weigh and my scale is collecting dust somewhere. I know the biggest change will come with how we feel, our clothes fit or don't fit, etc. So, that's what I'll go by with the occasional doctor visits that'll tell me what the number is. Good for you btw...I thnk you'll find a better sense of peace without the numbers driving you loco.

I check ever day as well, it's a bad habit. I really need to put mine away. I recently hit a stall and it's even more frustrating.

I threw my scale out years ago. I wait until i go to my doctors office to weigh. I can tell by the way my clothes fit and are getting loose, that i am losing. I was told along time ago that it is bad for your progress if you are constantly weighing, especially if you dont lose anything, then you get discouraged and tend to cheat, and then feel guilty. Then the cycle begins. Weighing every 2 weeks is desirable.

I use Trend Weight to track my weight. I think that's more accurate if one days weigh frequently. Day to day fluctuations are common. It averages them out. One of my New Year's resolutions was never to weigh myself on consecutive days. So far so good!

I was just thinking about this myself. I have generally weighed myself once a year for the last decade. Why change it up? Well... maybe I'll move it to once a month after the surgery. (Fingers crossed).
