I only use my doctor's scale. Usually that means I get weighed once a month, but this last time it was three months.

I eat, drink, exercise first and wear normal clothes.

Now all this sounds kindof together, and like I don't care, but it's a battle with my head *every* time. 'If I don't drink water, I'll weigh less' ... 'I should wear the rayon pants, not the jeans', etc.

The bad thing about my ritual - I start feeling anxious the week before I'm going to get weighed (what if didn't lose anything?). The good thing? Dramatic drops every once in awhile.

I'm resisting getting a scale - which is easy since I want an accurate one that does body fat % too, and I just don't have the $$$. Still ... someday I'm sure I'll be standing naked in the bathroom, drained of all possible fluids, checking to see how I'm doing that day.
