So is anyone addicted to the scale like me. Its so damn addictive and sometimes maddening to boot. I guess there are worse things to be addicted to but weighing myself everyday can be great oneday and crap the next. I alway thought since I was not a woman and have have cycles of water retention I was immune. Every morning I go into my bathroom ( yes my wife and I have our own bathrooms) do my business and swear I wont get on the scale. then after washing my hands dammit if I dont just hop right up on it and peer down. If its great my days great . If its bad my day just sucks and I second guess everything!!!!! Really I am just venting here!!!!!!!

When I started out I weighed once a week. Then I went to measuring on Wednesday and weighing on Saturday. Pretty soon I was weighing and measuring on Wednesday AND Saturday. Now I weigh any damn day I feel like it which can sometimes be several days in a row.
The good news is that I now know with certainty that I needn't get concerned in the occasional jump in weight. We have a couple of shops and over the years we've learned the same thing...I don't care if sales are poor one day and I don't get quite so excited if sales are through the roof another day. It's the weeks, months and years that matter. Isn't life like that in general?
This week I started at 205, dropped to 204, then one day jumped to 208 (!) but here I am at the official weighing day and I'm at 203 ...down 2lbs and right on target. So long as I stick to my routine that I've developed it seems to work perfect!

I can't help it either. I get on the darn thing every single morning. I know I can't lose weight overnight but I sure don't want to see the scale creep up any! And of course its a digital, can't get those things to lie a bit! lol

Oh I stick to my routine. I do not want to have to loose this weight again like last time. I really was just venting. Its maddening that we dont get our "instant" rewards in life. But like everything else we have to work for it. We all want to loose what took years to gain in a week.

I tried putting mine in a different room but just ended up dragging it back to my bathroom (I have my own bathroom, too!) during the second week of induction I got on that thing about three times a day. It's digital so at least I can't do the trying to find the right balance to get it to go down a pound.
The funny thing is, I KNOW my pants are fitting better, even just after two and a half weeks, but still those tiny red numbers between my feet every morning have such a hold over my emotional state for the day. It doesn't help that I work out of the home (freelance writer) and can weigh myself at will.

I weigh everyday.

It does not make me cheat just makes me out of sorts

I weigh obsessively too....but I don't let it determine my day. Maybe I have an extra spring in my step on mornings when I'm down another pound, but I don't bum out when it's up. But I definitely can't stay off the thing.

it even affects the way i respond to my husband (regarding the wild monkey dance *wink*)
isn't that the silliest thing you ever heard? like a pound lost makes me a vixen all of a sudden, where if im up a half pound i feel like a bloated week-dead toad!

Oh, I'm so glad others have this addiction as well.... here is a quote from my journal today:

"I should not have gone on the weight this morning, but I did.......(my weigh in day is Monday) 164,25 lbs/74,5 kilos.............I know I'm retaining water, can see it on my ankles..I know it's not fat, so I shouldn't worry. But I have to find out what makes me retain water....probably the macadamias (salted)."

I try not to, but the darn thing has this magnetic effect on me...
everyone is telling me I shouldn't.....
