Hi, My name is Richt and I AM a scaleaholic

[Richt]

I admit to being a slave to the scale. I am ashamed to admit, but will admit it nonetheless - I weigh on average 3 or 4 times a day. Now that is not natural is it? It shows signs of being majorly obsessive, bordering on crazy.

I think it does happen though to anyone who is an ex fatty. I am petrified of putting it all back on that I am obsessive about it all.

Thanks for letting me get that off of my chest.

Youve done this confession before, didnt you manage to stay away for a few days or did you lie to us?

Re: Hi, My name is Richt and I AM a scaleaholic

I did manage to go a whole 3 weeks of just weighing once a week. But that fell down.

Re: Hi, My name is Richt and I AM a scaleaholic

so you can do it if you really want to!

i weigh about every other day once a day but only record the loss once a week, i have been thru a stage of every day twice a day but i found it depressed me so i gave it up.

You know what, I dont actually know if I want to stop weighing! Sounds strange and its not that healthy, but I actually like reading the dial. I will never get tired of comparing how I am now with how I was 4 years ago.

I'm a once a week kinda girl...(scales that is Emma!)

Richt, if it helps you stay on track then don't worry about it. It aint perfect but then as long as it's not hurting you or anyone else...where's the harm...<{;0)

Re: Hi, My name is Richt and I AM a scaleaholic

I do every morning!! (on the scales!! lol)

I dont get on in the evening as I know it will be heavier and depress me!!! lol

Re: Hi, My name is Richt and I AM a scaleaholic

3-4 times is nothing! I was getting on the scale EVERYTIME I was walking by it. My average was probably double your Rich.
If you have a digital scale you could just take the battery out and throw it away. If you have a dial one you may just want to put it away somewhere really high where you can't get it
Don't beat yourself up about it. Just don't get so weight obsessed that you turn to an eating disorder--that would be the only reason why I would be concerned.

Oh, weigh in at night too, just so I can see how excited I will be the following morning, knowing that I am about 2-3 lbs lighter in the morning than I am at night,

Re: Hi, My name is Richt and I AM a scaleaholic

HI RICH !!!!!
I weigh every day, and when I get to goal will probably more often until I am a believer and trust the scale and my body. What does it hurt?

Re: Hi, My name is Richt and I AM a scaleaholic

I'm with you Rich. I like seeing those nicer "New Me" numbers. Sometimes it is the best thing that happens to me all day. (I know, pitiful but I take what I can get).
