    I have a confession to make. I am going to give up......

    My obsessive behaviour. Since I started on this woe I have been obsessed with putting all of the weight that I have lost back on. So obsessed that over time I have found myself weighing myself about 4 times a day! That is not a healty obsession to have and last night I made a concious decision that from now on I am only going to weigh myself once a week. I am going to keep a note week on week of my weight and aim to crack my obsessive behaviour.

    It came to ahead the other day when I could reel off to someone exactly how much I weighed in each different outfit I wear, and at each different time of the week and the day. Embarrassing.

    Friday morning at 8am is going to be the only time that this Richt will be standing on the scales.

    Thanks for reading, hopefully making this announcement in front of everyone will make me more accountable.

    I am and always have been petrified of that "slippery slope".

    It never ceases to amaze me of how easy and how effective this ***diet*** is!!




    I have since re-gained a bit of weight, but that is soon to be coming off again!

    Good for you, Rich!

    I totally support your decision. I weighed everyday my first time around, and now only weigh on Sunday mornings. No more obsessing over the same pound going up and down for days. I hop on the scale once a week, and it is what it is. Makes a one pound loss more exciting if I don't agonize over it daily for an entire week.

      Hey! Nothing to be ashamed of... And you dont NEED to push yourself off the scales as if it is your enemy. I dont think I am a psycho, but I prefer to weight myself EVERY DAY, just to make sure I dont need any correction. This helps, and this gives you assurance to feel secure. So there is nothing WRONG about it.

          Good for you! I too find myself stepping on them more and more often as I continue to lose. I know once I reach my goal I will need to take a strict stance or risk becoming a scale-aholic. NO WEIGHING FOR YOU!!!

            Congratulations Rich on taking the control. You'll succeed in breaking this habit and put your mind at ease. Its easy to get obsessed over our weight because you've worked so hard to make it happen.

              Hi Richt,

              That sounds exactly like me! My behaviour around the scale is so obsessive it's ridiculous. I have asked BF to hide it, but I have always found it; it took the battery out and told him to hide that but I found that too!

              I weigh myself about 3 times a day and because I'm in a stall right now it's gettine me down. And yes, my signature is a lie - I know exactly what I weight and what a normal 'evening' weight is too! Sorry HG. I'm a big time scaleaholic!

              Perhaps we should be non-scale-obsessive buddies or something! Maybe I should only weigh 8am Friday too?

                Baarb, lol we can do this together.

                I am now at home, and so far have managed to not stand on the bl**dy things! So far so good.

                  Rich, good for you for posting!

                  I think something is in the air. I've weighed myself 5x this week! What the heck? I used to hate stepping on the thing, now I get a sick, perverse pleasure of seeing how much my dinner weighs. I'm on the 8am-Friday-morning-weigh-in-only with you and Baarb, though *TECHNICALLY* I'd have get up and weigh at 1 am if I really wanted to do that...so I'll just stick with Friday mornings, and weigh with you in spirit.

                    Yay! We can do this!

                    Right so, no more weighing until next Friday Julie it would see extreme to get out of bed at 1am and also I'm so scale obsessed I know that you are likely to be a lb heavier at that time than in the morning

                    Richt - did you say 'things' scale plural?!

                        LOL, yes I did say things, but then in the UK we called them scales, not scale.

                        I own two sets, but only because I have just bought a new one which also calculates my water and body fat

                              So Richt, how's it going? I was very very tempted Sunday morning but managed to resist.
