Scale Obsessed
28 04 2008I’m feeling a little obsessed with the scale lately. I’ve been Weighing in every morning on my personal scale at home. It’s been dictating my mood and my eating habits a little too much lately so I’m gonna break this addiction. I’m going to try to get into a healthier Weighing pattern. I most likely won’t be able to WI on Thursday due to a work conflict, and I don’t really have any other meeting choices, so I’ll just go a week without WI. I’m gonna try to only Weigh Myself every 3-4 days at home. I like doing this to just make sure I am on track. So…the next time I want to get on the scale will be Thursday (my normal WI day). Then after that I’ll Weigh one week from today, and try to not weigh until my offical WI day next thursday.
Ok, I feel better now that I wrote it all out. I am still eating healthy, and working out harder and more often than ever, but I feel like if I get on the scale in the morning and it shows me a good number I do good. If it is up at all, or not down as much as I think it is, I’ve been limiting my food intake and skipping dinner so hopefully the # the next morning is better. I haven’t been eating all my daily points on some days either which I know is bad…so I am stopping it NOW.
I am also a trampoline scale jumper. I weight myself probably 3 times a day. It’s an obsession. I tried not to weigh myself and I ended up gaining. I hope you have better luck then me. I guess I don’t trust myself yet.
I think seeing the scale go up every day…partly because I haven’t been having my water…but it has probably been affecting my mood. Like slimmerreflection, I’d probably end up gaining. Good luck!
Just keep working out and eating your points…it will all soon show up on the scale.
good for you for being honest. EAT all your points!!! (I wish I had a hard time eating all of mine… I think I’ve been eating mine and yours….) You are doing amazing! A 2 lb loss last week??!?? That is great! Keep it up…. but the right way.. we are not creating eating disorders here (:
I hate that metal devil!!!! It is amazing how a number controls our life! Stay away!!! Just remember that you are kicking butt right now and doing amazing! You feel GREAT! who cares what the scale says! It will show on the scale eventually! Keep up the AWESOME work!
I completely agree with my30×30! I was in the same boat, I was weighing myself everyday and it was depressing me, like you said, it was dictating my every mood. You have to commit to just weighing once a week for now, you’ll be much happier.
