Thinking of cutting ties with scale

HELP! I started my journey 10 months ago. I have lost 54 of the almost 70 I want gone. The scale is my security blanket. I step on it daily to make sure I haven't put something I shouldn't have into my body that made me bloat as I know it is impossible to gain a pound of true fat on what I am eating. I want to put the scale away for a month. I want to cut my security blanket and still have the motivation to put healthy foods into my body, not over eat and continue making healthy life choices. Exercise is now a daily thing I look forward to, I have formed a habit. Passing on seconds is a habit. Eating good food instead of going through drive through is a habit. I am petrified that somehow magically if I stop stepping on that damned contraption I will suddenly get fat again. Just looking for support as I feel I maybe becoming a little OCD about the silly white box in my bathroom that makes or breaks my day.
