Scale Wh*re!!!!



Recommended Posts

Most every day since 2009 i have done the exact same thing..... I wake up, get out of bed, walk to the bathroom, pee, and then step on the scale. (except when on vacation). Anyone else?

I was just thinking about this earlier. I can not stop myself. I want to only weigh myself once a week, but I can not do it. It is like an automatic thing that I can not get myself to quit.

I think it would so much more satisfying to only see the progress in a week.

To be fair, I did this before WLS....so it's a habit I've had for a long time, not just because of the surgery.

Same. I pee poop strip naked to keep it consistent. Then I move the scale to a different part of the tile if I don’t like the results (it can change if one pad is on the grout). :)

I weigh myself at least 4 times a day. I like to see what I weigh before/after peeing and pooping too! It's a fun hobby!

Yep every day I have access to my scales. I usually have Breakfast, then after my second pee of the morning, & bm I get on the scales in my underwear before I get dressed. I try to keep the scales on the same tile too for consistency.

I need to kick this habit. I'm subconsciously sabotaging myself with food if I've gained or not lost, and tend to slacken off about if I have lost. So it's not good either way. Bad habits from my yoyo dieting days. So it's not helpful to me to weigh daily, even though I do it morning and night. I need to move to monthly weighing but can't break my scale addiction.....

well i sleep naked.... so no clothes to take off..... hehehe..... I have tried to stop, but i can't. If there is a scale, i will step on it. It sits right in front of the toilet... and it taunts me... It tells me ..... You know you want to know...

I have even tried to move it around the house..... i simply go to it and then eventually bring it back to it's place.

ughhhhhhh..., it's the devil i tell ya.

Ain’t nothin’ wrong with daily weighs, nor multiple weighs in a day for that matter, so long as it isn’t affecting your mental health! Lol. (Some can handle it, others can’t ❤️).

Besides my daily morning weigh-in, i also get on the scale before showers, or if i’m in the bathroom when changing clothes....basically whenever I find myself naked, lol.

But I don’t get on scales that aren’t mine though (unless at the doctor’s and i don't even count that weight), as I like to keep variability to a minimum.

I weigh daily, this has been a habit before surgery. It helps me, when I fall off from daily weigh ins, I tend to gain weight.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
