haven't weighed myself

I suffer from huge body image problems & I have been known to weigh myself daily, but I haven't stepped on the scale for a month now! I have no idea what I weigh right now, and that feeling is almost liberating. I plan to weigh myself again sometime, but it's nice to lose that focus!

    That's awesome! I used to be an everyday scale checker and I felt like I was in a constant state of panic. I'm glad not checking is making you more relaxes too! <3

    Great job! I am super proud of you!!

    It isn't about what the scale shows, it is that your body is healthy!

    That's awesome!! Knowing and admitting when you have problems like that is very hard to do and very admirable.. keep up the good work!! :smile:

    CONGRATS!! I too have MAJOR body image 'issues'. I keep telling myself I will do the same....hide the scale or at least not get on it EVERY morning, but its like I cant help myself- I HAVE to know. This morning I weighted and was 0.8 higher then yesterday and I wanted to smash it in half.
    ANY tips??

    I don't like scales myself I prefer to work with how my clothes fit. Much more fun and a great excuse for shopping. As if one is needed...lol

    I need to do the same thing. I weigh myself everyday and it just gets frustrating to not see the number move at all! I think I will put the scale in the closet from now on.

    Good for you. The number doesn't REALLY matter, does it? Not getting on the scale is SO liberating. :happy:

    I always weighted myself once a week in the Mondays morning and the results were awesome, a lot better than weighting everyday :-)
