i too am addicted to the scale. but it's the only thing that can really guide me because i feel like i can't see myself for what i REALLY look like. if i see that the scale says "126 pounds," i know i've been good! haha... if i've gained any weight, i know it's time to evaluate my food choice (calories, sodium, water, etc.). a pound or two isn't going to necessarily show up in the mirror.

what i do though is wait til i get to the gym to weigh. for two reasons:
1) it motivates me to go to the gym
2) i find that anything less quality than a professional doctor-style scale that you push the weights around on doesn't give me an accurate reading... no point in buying a scale if it's going to lie to me like the mirror does!
