Weighing in too often!

[mom2mygirlz920 0]

Ok, I am less than a week post op. I keep weighing myself, at least twice a day. Isnt this a bad habit? I think it would be so much more rewarding if I weighed in every Tuesday. Guess it was a bad idea to get my new scale. I cant help it though, the numbers are dropping so quickly and when I wake up in the morning, I cant help but wanna see! Ugh!

I had the same problem. I was obsessed with it, so I threw my scale away and I weigh once a week at work.

There is a weekly scale challenge thread here on LBT for all of us who are obsessed with the scale, I challenged everyone who was interested to only get on thescale once a week. It has been very successful for me..you should join us Do a seach for Weekly Scale Challenge and come on in

I was that way in the beginning, but for me, it wasn't that big of a deal cause the scale was moving! The real problem became when I wasn't losing a pound in a day. I 1) started to get mad at myself although I had done NOTHING wrong. and 2) if I had lost, started to justify having treats more.

Finally, yesterday, I loaned my sister my scale. I'll get it back someday, but for now, it's at her house.

I've decided that I don't want the scales to rule my emotions so the only time I weigh in, is at my surgeon's office every couple of months.

I can tell by my clothes how well, or otherwise, I am doing.
