Why am I scared to weigh myself?

[determined1017]

I keep reading everyone is losing weight, and it seems like some people check their scales once a day. I am on day 5 and only want to weigh myself once a month! I guess I am scared to not see any results so soon so that's why i am waiting. Bur now I'm curious!! I guess I'll wait until the end of induction!

I would suggest that you weigh yourself once a week. That is very realistic. You can use the number to make adjustments to your diet if necessary, and it will provide motivation as the numbers continue to go down.

I'm there with you, the scale is like some type of symbolic judgement day, and you fear it will communicate the failure of attempts from the past but yet you feel yourself obsess to know. What is that about during induction, right?!
