Any scale-a-holics out there
 
Hi, Does anyone constantly weigh themselves?
I am totally obsessed. Every morning, without fail. with clothes,
without clothes, before tinkle, after tinkle, you name it, I do it.
I know, once a week is ideal, but fess up. Who can wait that long.
You can if you cheated and you know you gained. Im at a plateu right now
after losing 26 pounds. It's driving me insane! Any scale stories out there?
Oh and I have a cat that likes to put her front paws on the scale in back of
me while Im weighing myself.

I weight Bright and early nekkid, after Peepee, then after shower. I even take my scale with me on trips! LOL

Batteries went dead on mine this AM and I was calling radio shack at 7 AM to see when they opened.
Yeah, I'm nuts

I'm a scale junkie also.... Does anyone want to do a challenge???? No Scale till Memorial day? When I see I haven't lost as much as I think I should..... It's depressing. SO........ I'm game to stay off of it for awhile. But it wouldn't be fun without some buddies to do it with.

I am soo I scale junkie!
The original poster could have been me...
I like to weigh each and every time I pee...
I have been known to take my clothes off in the middle of the day just so I can weigh without them on.
I weigh pre and post shower to see what effect a shower has on weight..
I am an addict!

That being said... I weighed recently and it is my TOM, I will never do that again! I nearly had a heart attack. All the losses of the past week have dissappeared although I have not cheated.

I will not weigh again no matter what until TOM has left the body.

I signed on for the 100 day challenge. No weighing for 100 days *Scream*!
I'm excited yet a little scared of giving up my very good friend. hehe

i am still too dependent on the scale. i know that it's not a good thing, but it keeps me honest. i know that whatever i might eat, it's going to have an affect on the scale, so knowing that i am going to way keeps me on my toes. i caught myself kind of creeping up a little each day and after about 3 or 4 months, there were a few extra pounds, so i went back to induction til they were gone.....i just couldn't go without my scale!

I've become such a scale junkie Ifinally had my husband hide it on me and only brings it out once a week!! The sad part is one day I searched for it for almost an hour!! How sad is that!! I must only weigh once a week that's what I keep telling myself!!

missaec Sat, Mar-27-04 02:43

I had my bf take it and hide it somewhere. I weighed every morning then I plateaued after 27.5 pounds. So I'm taking a 2 week break from it.

AFwife Sat, Mar-27-04 03:06

I have 2 scales, one that works with batteries and the other doesn't need batteries so it's for when the batteries are dead on the other one. :lol:

I weigh myself every morning, twice to make sure it's accurate. Then I weigh after each meal to see how much a meal puts on ya. Then after my bath before I go to bed.

I'm a total scale addict.

Paris Sat, Mar-27-04 06:15

Me me me! I am on the scale every morning. I am too chicken to weigh any other time.

However, I've just pledged to stay off the scale until my official weigh day, so no more scale until Thursday.

Rosie Real Sat, Mar-27-04 06:33

Totally a scale freak here. Usually only first thing in the morning, but if I've been exceptionally good, I'll weigh at night and if it's down a little I'm thinking to myself "HEY, if it's at THIS right now, imagine what it'll be in the morning!" :rolleyes:

I'm TRYING to break myself of this, and haven't weighed for a few days. Going to try sundays as my day to weigh. I could never make it til memorial day :lol:

Xplora Sat, Mar-27-04 08:08

I have even weighed myself in the middle of the night! :lol: I weigh everyday. I'm ok with it though. I know when it's just a little water weight or if I have really gained or lost a pound or two. If I weighed in only once a week, I would be more depressed if it wasn't telling me what I think it should. At least this way if I'm up 3 pounds I know I didn't gain that much fat in a day. I have a pretty good handle on what is really going on. The weight I post is my low weight. We all know it jumps around daily and I would hate to miss the low for the week because I didn't weigh in.

Kristine Sat, Mar-27-04 09:17

I tend to be a daily weigher. It think it's okay as long as you don't take it too seriously. If it upsets you, why torture yourself?

I try to just use it to keep myself accountable. :thup:

scrapgirl Mon, Apr-26-04 10:58

OMG...me too! Usually every morning and night and sometimes during the day when I find myself in the potty room with the scale. I feel like it is a pet and I should give it a name!!

How about this...

Weighing, weighing, all the time,
The task is always on my mind.
Will the scale read high or low,
'Gotta check so I will know!
If I've been bad, the scale will tell,
If I've been good, you'll hear me yell!!
Have a great LC day!
