I fall prey to this often, but not in the way you would think! If the scale is up in the morning I tell myself not to worry, but wait until the weekly average (since I'm supposed to compare those). That doesn't bother me so much, but if the scale is DOWN then I'm more tempted to cheat! I think-it's working, I can have that muffin/bagel etc JUST THIS ONCE.

Silly me! I was one of the big proponents of throwing out the scale and going on how clothes fit and such until I gained weight. Because of my large frame (big boned, no kidding!) I gain weight everywhere and can wear most of my clothes even when I'm at the upper end of my weight range. I find it really helps me if I weigh daily and compare my weekly averages. It keeps me on track, and it's nice to see the numbers drop!
