Farewell to my Dearest....SCALE!

Our daily encounters must come to an end! This relationship is unhealthy and has become compulsive. :sad: I will agree to meet you on Sundays only Mister! I will not be enticed by your invitations throughout the week. You must also know that I will not let your responses dictate my mood or get me distracted from my goals.

When I hear you whisper my name each morning as I get out of the shower mister, I will turn my back on you. Yes, you are being rejected...as you deserve. You have been dominating my time and my thoughts. We shall see how it goes by meeting on Sundays only. I presume it will be a much healthier relationship. If our relationship was to continue in this unhealthy pattern in which we have been partaking, I fear we would find ourselves on the Dr. Phil show for therapy. I think he calls this co-dependancy. How sad that something that started out so innocent and pure has ended up so ugly and obsessive. I blame only myself.

So here is to a new relationship. :blushing: One that will not consume my thoughts and time. I will allow you one brief meeting on Sunday - and will not let your reactions affect my mood and determine my course of action for the day. I must begin to put my needs ahead of yours my dearest scale.

:)I will see you on Sunday!

(Thanks for humoring me and reading this silly letter to my scale. Does anyone else need to break their compulsive weighing habits? Please join me in the Sunday Successes forum - Have a great week!:flowerforyou: )

    OK that was to cute and too wonderful and too creative (((((((((((((((APPLAUSE)))))))))))))))))))) I think there are many of us here having the same deranged relationship in our homes with the relatives of your scale. May we all get a laugh from your post but more importantly may those of us with a scale addiction learn from it. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    OH I DO I DO I DO!! I just don't know if I can. He beckons me early in the am, before the alarm goes off, before my husband can see me get on it. Ack! I am thinking about boarding him right now! And the worst part about it, he has spent alot of time shaming me, making me feel bad about myself, but yet, i keep going back for more.

    Maybe I can make this commitment tomorrow.

    Oh man this hit a note for me. I have suffered from 2 very serious eating disorders and I swear this was my life. Multiple times a day (that doesn't even make sense!) And it is so important to break that becaus eyour weight can fluctuate by pounds every day even from water! And it does not dictate your health! Trusssssst me. I threw mine out and only weight myself at the gym, I actually need to remember to do it once a week, but that is so far from where I used to be. I'm proud of you!!! :)

    HAHAHAAAA... such a great post! That is my life too... I am trying to avoid weighing myself daily (only to see a 1/2 pound difference, if that - and sometimes in the wrong direction!). I'm trying and trying to wait until Friday to do my official weekly weigh-in. It's so hard to wait!! But at the same time, I know that it's better for me to treat my scale with a bit more indifference.

    To cute! I hide my dearest scale in the closet and only take him out when I want to. LOL I have been tempted all week to sneak a peak but I WILL wait until FRIDAY. Sorry Mister you will remain in the closet! :wink:

    OMG!! This is too funny!! Same here, I was weighing every morning, then every time I went in the bathroom. It drives you crazy!!My husband takes it and hides it on Monday night, and I get it back on sunday night for my Monday morning weigh in!!!! I dont even trust myself to put it away and not think about it. I think they would call our relationship with our scale AN ABUSSIVE RELATIONSHIP!!! lol

    I am glad someone can relate. This breakup was the best thing I have done in years. Now that I look back on this relationship I wish I hadn't wasted so much time with such a manipulator! I am moving on....:laugh:
