I have been in a very unhealthy relationship for over 12 years. He has abused my self-esteem, jerked me around, given me cold and hard numbers when I needed something more. So I finally did it. I said no more... I said: "Scale, I will be ruled by you no more!"

He is now demoted from his prominent place in my get-healthy goals... he is now just one of the many tools that will help me achieve what I want from this experience. But I will no longer be 'friends-with-benefits' because I am sick of my week being ruled for good or naught by those stupid numbers. Sick. Let the biggest loser contestants obsess about the pound-counting, staying up late an worrying about what terror Mr. Scale is going to inflict on them. Not me. We might see each other in passing once a month or so... maybe even once every two months.... but I'm getting a divorce and rescuing myself from this endless and sick mental cycle.

    Oh no, sculley. Sorry! I thought that by posting it in the 'chit-chat, fun, and games' section, all would be well and cute... :noway:

    hope I don't lead anyone else astray (except that it is serious. I mean, I cannot even count the number of times that the stupid scale has sabotaged my motivation. :devil: It's so stupid).

    Yay! I totally got your joke! I've divorced mine too. I'm not going to be one of those people who *accepts myself the way I am* and quit trying, but I'm also NOT going to base my life around what my scale says. (Something I caught myself doing. Ugh.)

    Good for you, girl! :drinker:

    :laugh: You're so right though, at the end of every week I absolutely dread stepping on that scale! It should be more about the way my body looks and feels than the numbers that scale keeps spitting back at me! :happy: :tongue: :wink: :smile:

    Good for you PS.

    P.S. I know some people, for the right price, we could take care of your scale for you and .... you know.... make it look like an accident!

    Shhhhh, I wasn't hear, I never spoke to you....

    LOL! I was soooooo sad for you! As soon as I saw the topic my heart sank. Then I read the post and was actually enlightened and could understand. Way to go! Leave him in the closet, under the bed, in a cabinet, or any place he can not look at you and cause you to feel guilty and take him back! Stay strong.

    What an awesome idea - I'm going to divorce mine too and try to meet just once a month for review of proceedings.

    Way to go! I need your motivation to do the same thing...

    Just see the headlines - .......Mass divorces cause Scale Companies Mass lay offs....

    I am loving that you are all into my divorce. :wink: Thanks, all. Last week was so rough because I 'gained' 2lbs... I didn't do anything because of it for a whole week. No exercise, no calorie tracking. I got back on the scale today and I lost 1 pound... :noway: :mad: I think I actually swore several times at the stupid thing. So I got on and posted this thread and your response has been amazing. Thank you.:heart:
