Default Stay OFF the scale for 2 weeks ~CHALLENGE~

Surgeon General recommends... lol jk

Seriously though, Every Single day of my life I Crave getting on my scale.
Right now I am thinking about it, I was thinking about it as soon as I woke up...

Now since I wont weigh myself after eating, sometimes I hurry and eat something as soon as I walk in the door between my routes (school bus driver)

Right now I am cooking some boca burgers and trying to not scratch my itch to weigh myself.

SOOO... I decided to start an Immediate support thread.. right here, right now. I know I will most likely come whining to this thread every morning about this time trying to convince myself Not to WEIGH in.

My Actual weigh in days are saturdays, but I want to try to go 2 weeks for the first time Ever...

Anyone care to join me in NOT weighing in for 2 weeks?

I know it was easier for me to get through the One week when I talked to my fiance about the addiction and hearing him tell me no really helped.

Plus Id love to hear about other peoples quirks about weighing in...or trying to NOT weigh in. I cant be the only one...lol.

November 14th 2005 will be the next day We Weigh in...

Please dont let me go insane here alone =D

I DEFINITELY need to get in on this one! On a good day I weigh myself once or twice, so this ought to be interesting.

Well today is november first... Our first scale free day... I'll tell ya I felt all thin today and I seriously wanted to weigh myself...
They say to go by how you feel... for me it seems it has been more like if i feel thin, I HAVE to be sure I lost weight...
I mean come on, I can barely feel the 56 lbs difference.. like Im going to wake up and notice one lb is missing... rofl!

When I am having a "thin" day, I always stay off the scale, because if it says something that I don't want to see, my mood is completely changed. :P

OMG! This is totally the challenge for me! I realize you started this a couple of weeks ago now, but I just said to myself that I am NOT going to weigh myself until after a full two weeks of cheat-free induction! I don't know if you have seen that commercial (I think it's for oatmeal or something) where the woman is going about her daily business with a scale chained to her leg....THAT IS SO ME!!! I have been known to weigh myself twice a day, maybe more....but I have finally figured out that weighing myself so often I either get discouraged because I haven't dropped a pound since the last weigh in or if I HAVE lost something then I tend to get a little relaxed with the dieting....it's so ridiculous!!! So, for me personally, I will not be weighing in until Monday (I think the date would be the 28th of Nov.)

Just making sure everyone is still staying scale free!! My official weigh-in is Thursday and then I plan on having my scale hidden again! I like being free from it!
