a scale junkie trying to stop
Hi,my name is Jamie and I am a scale junkie. LOL But for real I am. Here
lately I have noticed I am weighing myself more and more. Almost to the point of getting obsessed about it. Now that I am in sight of my goal those 1 and 2 pound fluctuations from morning to morning are starting to **** me off. I have decided to keep the scales in the other bathroom that I never go in. Thinking maybe that will detour me from weighing myself everything I take a pee. Are there any other former scale junkies that have broke the habit. If so tell me some pointers besides throwing it out. I paid to much $$ for it and I'm a poor white boy. ~ LOL I just needed to vent. thanks! 365/220/200 |

Even though maintenance is our ultimate destination, amazingly, seeing the same number everyday was much less entertaining than the steady decline of the past year. I cut back to twice a week. A short time later once a week just seemed "right". Now I look forward to my Monday morning weigh in and am almost never tempted otherwise. I wouldn't dream of checking if it wasn't morning and I wasn't nekkid, anyway - too much trouble any other time. When it feels right, you'll give it up. -- Walking on . . .

You have to avoid that doe snot (my deer) at all costs! :-) Thanks for the funny typo, ig Tonia |

Hi Jamie,
I weigh myself usually once a day and sometimes even twice. Sometimes it gets to me also because I can weigh myself one day and think great I've lost all this weight, then the next day have three more pounds back on. One thing I've noticed is this is normal for me since I sweat like a dog during workouts I can lose three or four pound like there is nothing to it. Then go drink several glasses of water, and I put on the weight I thought I lost. The thing that keeps me from going over the edge is I'm losing weight pretty steadily. I've lost about seventy-five pounds in five months....that's fifteen pounds a month on average. Now I know as I get closer to my goal of 175 that it's going to slow down so I'm preparing myself for that to happen. You may want to weigh yourself at the same time of day everyday instead of different times to get a more realistic idea of your weightloss. If you can do it you may want to try to weigh in once a week on the same day if you just want to see the lost weight. Hope this helps, Paul 300/225/175 "alien" wrote in message .. .

I paid to much $$ for it and I'm a poor white boy. ~ I am a complete scale junkie. When I see the scale I have a need to step on it. What worked for me was putting it away. I too have two bathrooms, and they both get used. So putting it in one or the other didn't work. So I put it in a cupboard. Out of sight out of mind. It did work for a while, but then I found I forgot to weight myself at all. I do need to weigh myself to keep myself on track, either to know, okay something isn't working, or for the encouragement, yes this is working keep going. But 3 times a day is just too much as I found out, too easy to get caught up in daily fluctuations. Meaghan --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Version: 6.0.567 / Virus Database: 358 - Release Date: 1/24/2004 I keep our digital bathroom scales in the kitchen because our bathroom is too small and wet to keep it in there. I tried putting it in the carpeted bedroom on a concrete path block and that caused it not to weigh correctly. Some of you may remember the "lose three pounds by moving the scales" thread. I weigh some mornings (nekkid) and some mornings I decide to dress first thing so I don't weigh myself. It's just me and DH living in our house. I try to weigh at least three times a week so I can see the water weight variations. The good thing about watching those is that it reminds me to drink, drink, drink. I also record my food intake and the calorie count in a spreadsheet more to make sure I fill my calorie allotment, than to make sure I don't over-eat! I tend to fill up on vegetables and they don't have a lot of calories. I never thought I'd have to make myself eat things with more calories to stay above 1500 calories a day!

two suggestions:
1. throw out your scale 2. if you must weight yourself, do it daily, at the same time, write it down, and then give yourself an average weight once weekly. -- read and post daily, it works! rosie It is an unfortunate human failing that a full pocketbook often groans more loudly than an empty stomach. ...............................Franklin Delano Roosevelt http://www.coxar.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ "alien" wrote in message .. .

If you're standing on the scales munching on a goodie, bad. If you step off
the scales and wish all the food was in a dumpster on Mars, good.

I'm kind of a scale junkie but NOTHING like I was a while ago. I'm
better but I think I needed another compulsion to take the place of eating . It does look good to see my new numbers I'm getting on my scales in the morning plus at night. I guess that it shows me I'm in control as couldn't face them a while ago. You are doing well and your numbers show it. glo 213/187/165 highest269+ |
