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

Well, I'm a bit farther than 10-12 pounds! I've got about 24 pounds to go. Some days I don't think about it, and other days I'm just curious. But I am never affected by what the scale says. I prefer the tape measure, especially these past few weeks because I've increased my strength training. This week I was up 1 pound, but lost 3.5 inches.

I don't know...before, I didn't WANT to weigh. I think now, part of my frequent weighing is that I'm so proud of that number that pops up...I just love seeing it!

Ahh, such trials and tribulations.

The first time I started, I told myself to only check on Sundays and I did it the first week. The second week came and I ended up wanting to check on Wednesday then again on Sunday. Then after that I checked again two days later. This time(restarting atkins) I told myself to just check everyday and then I will hopefully get to the point where I can just check every few days to every week. Losing weight is such an exciting thing!

Hey guys each to their own! But just to say I thought the number of the scale didn't affect me and never would - until it started to slow - so beware that you don't get caught the same way!

It is great to lose and see the numbers though

I also have a bit of an obsession with the scale. I have found though that by telling myself I can weigh myself only once per week, I end up weighing 10 times a day. If I allow myself to do it once in the morning then I can get by without the obsession.

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

After confessing my addiction with the scale, I decided to do something about it. I had my DH hide it from me until friday. I'm already having withdrawls! When I went into the bathroom it was gone and almost paniced. I'm the kind of scale-aholic that weighs at least twenty times a day. It definately is time to change that pattern. I told him not to give it to me even if I beg and since I'm high up into the mountains and with no neighbors to run to , borrowing theirs is out of the question. But as Martha Stewart would say " IT'S A GOOD THING"

Confession time - I weighed today. I don't know why really but I just drifted over to the scale. Sorry guys.

Giving up the scale is harder than giving up bread, pasta, chocolate, cakes you name it!

Will NOT do this again until Friday.

Sherri - good move on hiding it. I have tried this but always forced BF to give it back or find out where he's put it... Not good!

Heidi - why don't you join us to, if you want to?

We all do these things from time to time, don't worry you have done amazingly well, but I agree weighing yourself all the time is unhealthy. just like you are here for all of us, we, including me, are here for you my friend...just say the word.
