That's why it might be a good idea to just get rid of your scale even though I know you are unlikely to take my advice, but you can change the way you think about things. With no scale there is nothing to obsess about other than what food you are putting in your mouth. You can always track your measurements which can show progress even when a scale seems to indicate no progress. A number of years back I had gained some weight and it was depressing me and I found myself obsessing over the number on the scale. I decided to just toss my scale (it was an old one) and stick to the plan. Two years later I had a doctor's appointment. I stepped on her scale, my first weigh in since I had ditched my scale, and I was down 30 pounds. Trust the process not the scale.
