Mind Games with the Scale!!

[spud.mama 7]

Does anyone else play serious mind games with the scale? ? I am FINALLY on track with workin the diet that is expected after surgery and sure I'm losing. I want to look at the scale but a few weeks ago I did and gain like 2 pounds--I did just eat lunch but... So instead of working out like I had planned I got mad and ate Cookies. But that's not just it. Last time I noticed I lost weight my mind tells me "Cool!! Let's eat to celebrate!" DAMN SCALE!!! I used the ketostix and it was nice and purple so I know I'm losing. Curiousity is starting to get to me. I see my dietician on friday so I will wait till then for now but in the future.....? :eek:

What is a ketostix? It tells you that you are losing weight????

I don't Celebrate a loss with food, but I am addicted to the scale. I weigh every morning and every night. I just can't make myself go a week. I guess keeping track helps me from gaining all week. It keeps me in check.

i used to use food for celebrating too. or being sad, or upset, or mad. perty much any emotion. its something i am working on. getting better, but not all the way there yet. i figure its something i will struggle with forever.

as for the scale. its my best friendemy. i have a little ocd thing going on with the ritual i have. if i dont get to it i worry think about it all day. so yeah, just another thing i need to work on. lol.

I think ketostix are those things that you use to tell you how many ketones are in your blood or urine or something..I'm not sure, but I'd like to know as well.
