Anyone need help with obsession with the scales?

Then let me show you this! It has just shocked the hell out of me. As most of you know I am not allowed to weigh myself until November 15th. My trainers orders. Unhealthy scale obsessive that I was this has been a nightmare for me. Sneakily pleased when dr's weighed me about 3 weeks ago, I haven't weighed in since but I think the proof may be in the pudding...

Also for anyone out there thinking eating right and exercising sounds too much like hard work - I was you one month ago. I never ever thought I would say this but I think you will see from the difference in my bum, legs, back and boobs that exercise works and gives good results. I have a long way to go but boy does it feel good to post these...(on the left is one month ago, on the right is today)

    That's incredible! You're doing awesome.

    Why did your trainer tell you not to weigh yourself until November? I'm totally obsessed! I weigh every night before I go to bed and then when I wake up, then again, after I work out - every single day!
    I don't think I'm that neurotic until I read my posts.

    Helinah - you'll be more shocked to realise then lol that I actually have 75lbs to go! Well I did when I was last weighed!! I have no idea how much I have lost now - at last count 3 weeks ago it was 20lbs. What I like though is that I am watching my body shape change. I can tell you that previously my thighs were 75 and 74cm and now they are 65 and 64cm!!! That's 10cm off each in just 4 weeks!!! Unlike previously when I have crash dieted, my body shape is changing in a fantastic way. Areas I thought would never change have - my bum and boobs are a good example of this as well as my legs. Honestly no crash diet ever made me feel as good as working out does.

    Doris - he said that as I said I wanted to be fit and healthy, I shouldn't worry about my weight. By training I will gain muscle as well as lose fat so might not lose as much as quickly and get frustrated where as the real proof will be in the inches I lose and what I actually look like. I used to weigh myself daily - obsessively! Now I honestly am not bothered - after November he will make me go another 3 months before weighing in again. I thought I wouldn't be able to do it but if I can anyone can! xxx
