Are you obsessed with the scale????

Lisa1971

I am. Big time. I think I am the only person in the world who can weigh myself in one room, go pee, walk to the other bathroom and weigh myself again and gain 3lbs. Then I'm completely upset and depressed. :noway: Hmmmm...I don't remember eating 10,500 calories in 9 seconds. LOL!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Yup, obsessed...but I usually keep it in my head that it doesn't matter unless it is Saturday I use my Saturday weight as my "weight" and during the week there will be a 2lbs difference - up or down - and I get over it and move on. I know that Saturday is my counting day.

I've had to lock my scale up before in order to stay off.

Im maybe not that obsessed :laugh: But every morning I weigh myself and always after when i exercise , just to see what fluids I have lost.

Its got to the stage when i think about weighing myself I need to pee.

But I dont take much notice at the weight , I dont get upset and I only record it once a week.

kgillikin

How funny. I do the exact same thing.

mariyumm

.... someone bought me a new scale bc the old one broke so I threw it out so there began my obsession ~ .... weighing myself every single morning ~ the only way to keep motivated when I see a few ounces drop daily

CelesteENelson

I weigh myself every morning and record it. I dont get too upset with a little change. But its when I gained a few pounds that I get upset.

The 10,500 in 9 seconds juat made me burst into laughter.
But I used to be the same. I would weigh myself. Go pee and re weigh my self and have a + or - 2-3 pound difference. Then i'd weight myself at least 10 different times/day and my weight was always up and down 5 pounds in 1 day.

I wouldn't say "obsessed". However, I love when I see my weight going down and I'm sad when it goes up, but I don't really worry about it. I've learned to just try better the next week. Although, I am pretty obsessed with keeping track of my calories...

lisablueeyes

I have to say that was me..... I would weigh myself about... hmmm.... when I was home like 10 times a day!!!

But I don't do that any more..... I don't even stress when it says I gained weight.
Now that I've been working out and seeing the change on what I can do, and how I look... I feel thats ok with me.. For now!

Not saying I won't be that crazy lady again weighing myself a thousand times a day... But for now I'm ok with about 3 to 4 X a week!!

There should be something called SA - scale addicts. Need support group for it!!!:sad:

meghan171

I weigh myself every morning. I bought a new scale today that measures body fat and body water so I plan on recording those weekly (or daily if my obsession continues!)

Empressmee

I also find myself stepping on the scale everyday.. Sometimes twice a day.

Harshberger24

LOL this is so me. I wake up, weigh myself, pee, weigh myself, go downstairs fiddle around, come back up weigh myself and then I am depressed because I gained 2lbs from walking downstairs.. lol. I need to throw the thing away

jenmcgraw

I laughed at this one. I once weighed myself at 5 a.m. went back to bed then weighed myself again when I got up for the day at 7:15 a.m. I was thrilled I was down 1/2 a pound:) Soooo yes I need to join the SA group! LOL

Cheechos

Ahaha. c: My friend loooooves to weigh herself, but I kind of try to stay away from the scale until it's been a week since I last got on it. I like seeing the culmination of a whole seven days of work than trying to guess where I am with the day-to-day ups and downs.

kwalker1979

Yes, but I only weigh myself once a day - in the morning after I pee. It goes down some days and up some days, but overall I am losing. I wouldn't recommend getting on the scale multiple times a day as you eat/drink/pee/poop throughout the day, so of course it's going to change.

EricInArlington

I used to do the same and just got tired of beating myself up over the 3# gain just to lose 5# later in the week so, now its Sat. mornings with the same PJ's on with the scale in the same spot on the floor

That's me! Every morning generally after I pee. Sometimes I'll do it after I've done an exercise video but before I show (wet hair = weight gain!!).

If I'm up a pound I don't take it to hard. I'll go back and review what I ate...especially how much sodium I took in!

However, I do measure other aspects to - like my improving cardio, strength, and looser clothes!

WarmDontBurn

Yes, Yes and Yes.

I weigh "officially" in the morning when I wake up after the washroom in the same outfit, same spot...etc. I do that on the wii however before I get there I step on the bathroom scale and all through the day I step on it. If I feel skinnier, step on...if I go #2, step on......after I shower, step on and just for fun, step on.

I am obsessed!!

1southernchick

I must admit, I weigh every morning and every night. I figure I'm going to weigh 2lbs less than what I weigh in the evenings. If I don't weigh I'm afraid I'll let things get out of control. It's happened to me before. Ha, course I suppose I could cut it back to once a day!

CeejayGee

My therapist told me: "Weight is a trend over time." And, it's true. Your body weight fluctuates throughout the day and throughout the week and throughout the month just based on how much water you're drinking, how much salt you've consumed, whether you've peed, whether you're constipated, whether you've eaten, etc. You shoudln't get depressed by the fluctuates because it's natural and normal!

Tipring

I have to admit, our scale was broken and thrown away years ago. Now I am too scared to buy a new one. I am afraid I will throw it out the window cause I know I am gonna hate what it says.

MemphisMarly

I think I am the only person in the world who can weigh myself in one room, go pee, walk to the other bathroom and weigh myself again

I'd stick to one scale. More consistent numbers.

Nichole82

I am totally a scale addict. I probably need to stick to once a week on my weigh in day

amandakay23

I keep telling myself I am going to weigh once a week but I still weigh everyday!! I just try not to fret about the fluctuation and I do not weigh more than once per day!

brunettebetty

I am completely overjoyed at any loss! Whether it's mere ounces or a pound or more! However, it's the exact opposite if it goes up! I get angry! lol It makes me wanna just toss my hands into the air, curse and go to McDonald's! I really wish I had the strength to lock the scale up and not weigh for a month. Imagine the feeling of a giant # drop. *daydreams* Alas, I think even a week is pushing it for me....I'm going to try to go til Thursday without weighing....but we'll cross that bridge after I pee tomorrow morning and go lookin' for the scale. lol

radwan_masri

Use the scale once a week; do not be obsessed, Yes it will make you depressed.

Kristina0202

I weigh myself every time I go in my bathroom. I only record it when it goes down, lol.

It doesn't depress me or anything though.

Tamishumate

yes, me too. I feel empowered though when I DONT step on it ! its like I walk by it and stick my tounge out at it, lol.

Friday AMs are my best , always and I know this. I drink on the weekends, and I always gain, its Friday when I am back to great again, and then I drink wine again on Friday and Sat ( or Vodka ) . SO that being said, I am putting my scale away this week till friday. BOTH of them.
