Your husband physically picked you up and put you on the scale and stopped you moving?
If not, you could have just said no.
While he is obviously trying to help, he has no qualifications in dealing with an eating disorder
Also, you mentioned you just started your period. Are both you and your husband aware that women can temporarily retain a rough average of 5 lbs of water weight, which has *nothing* to do with fat and will dissipate over the next few days?
And why is your husband in control of when (and if) you get weighed?
From other threads, OP has said he is supposed to be "blind" weighing her, so she doesn't see the actual reading. It does kind of give him some control in when she gets weighed, although if they were both behaving like adults, it would mean either could veto a weigh-in, not that either could force a weigh-in. And from previous threads, it seems to me he gives her too much information. Not her actual weight, but enough information in relation to previous weigh-ins and time to goal at current weight-loss rate that figuring out her current weight is a pretty basic arithmetic problem.2 -

Thanks for the clarification. I haven't read all of the OP's threads and posts, but the ones I have read are concerning to say the least.
