Scale obsession?

I weigh every morning. I do this as part of my diet routine. I do it to stay disciplined and focused.

Whenever someone offers me a random 'fat bomb' I think of what the scales will tell me and think twice before stuffing that 600 calorie slice of cake in my gob.

But am I 'obsessed'? I don't think so. I don't starve myself or totally deprive myself of the odd treat. It's just that using the scales regularly is part of my diet regime and strategy.

A fat bomb! I love this thinking!

I don't have a scale. I weigh in with my nutritionist every other week. I don't like to see the weight bounce up and down. ;-)

I'm boggled by people who can weigh themselves every day. The constant monitoring and fluctuations would drive me crazy.

Working out at Curves they take your measurements every 25 workouts I think it is. It works out to once a month for me which is perfect. Knock on wood I haven't had to deal with that horrible feeling of "ugh I've gained weight" that people seem to complain about on here when they weigh themselves every day or week. It's nicer when it's in one big chunk of losing 8 pounds in a month than 1 by 1 with those "I've gained weight" moments mixed in there. I think weighing yourself too often is unhealthy but that's my opinion. I personally spend more time weighing my food so I know what I'm putting in and know it will lead to me losing.

I have hopped on the scale a couple times outside of that just because I wanted a ballpark of if I'm still losing or not. It's one of those old scales with the slidey things and I don't know how to work it so I can only get my ballpark anyway. Plus another perk is I only have that to fight little voice saying "I've lost weight so I can binge" once a month rather than every week or whatever.

i weigh once daily in the morning, i find it helps keep me acountable and i tend to stay on track easier.

I weigh daily either at home or at the gym as a tool to be more intune with what my body is doing. Although I get a little dissapointment if the number isnt where I thought it should be based upon how I feel and the effort I put in, I dont dwell or feel it is a negetive. I use it to manage what I do differently or the same to get the desired results. Plus a huge bonus for me is that I put the scale all the way down in my basement next to my washer dryer so I am keeping up with my laundry like I never have before ;-):bigsmile:

i weigh myself daily just for tracking. i am aware my weight will fluctuate and it doesn't bother me if i gain a few.
i have bigger things in life to worry about than if i gained a few pounds lol.

I weigh every morning. It works for me. I do fluctuate. I don't call it obsession. I would rather see it daily and see when it goes down, than to get on once a week, and that day happen to be a higher weight day, and think I had made no progress that week.

However, I only use my weight watcher scale weight at 7am on Thursday morning as my official tracker. As they say, to each his own! If it works for you, continue on the same way you have been doing it.

I'm very scale obsessed. I weigh in now at least once a day. It serves my interests right now while I have so much to lose. I know from past experience that when I reach goal weight it will not serve my interests and I intend to put the scale away and concentrate on other goals, like fitness.

this is how i am

I weigh myself every morning. It has become part of my morning routine and it helps me watch out for any upward trends. Is it obsession? Maybe, but so far is working so I shall remain obsessed.
