Talk: Anyone Else A Scales Addict?

May 11, 2010   6 Comments

Snack Girl has launched a new feature. After the overwhelming response to Snack Girl Challenge, I decided to launch a forum.

Challenge Forum

Why a forum? Well, it makes it easier to get help when you need it. Many of you readers are really supportive of healthy life style changes - and many of the readers need support!

So, let's work together and make some goodness happen!

Here is a forum post from From Becca:

How is everyone doing? Saturday and Sunday, I had a calorie deficit of 1,405 and 1,032 respectively, so I'm feeling on track - even though I went out for dinner with friends on Sunday! I stepped on the scales this morning, which was silly of me and I was 1lb heavier than Saturday. It's ridiculous, because I know that day to day means *nothing* - I'm just addicted! Anyone else a scales addict?

I weigh myself every single day and it basically sets my mood for the day. If I gain im not in a very plesant mood til i forget about it. But this morning I weighed 1.6lbs less...til the coworkers brought in muffins! Ugh stupid me!

I weigh myself every day. It doesn't affect my mood, it simply tells me if I need to watch my eating more or less. I have a 4 pound window. If I'm in the upper two pounds, I watch more closely than if I'm in the lower two pounds. Following this approach, I've successfully maintained my weight within that 4 pound window since December. But I am in maintenance, not trying to lose.

I even get on the scale during my monthly cycle....NOT a good thing and I should know better, but I can't help it!

I'm a scale addict too. I weigh just about everyday, sometimes I don't weigh on the weekends. I always eat really well during the week and sometimes do little splurges on the weekend. Like Mother's Day we went out for Chinese food, yum! I've noticed a trend for myself... My lightest day of the week is Wednesday so today is a great day! Lol. Maybe this week I can break that trend. I don't let my weight up or down affect my mood although I'm sure I would if it was up 5 pounds day over day. Good luck to all of you. I started working on getting my weight down on 1/1/10 and I started at 150 and as of this morning I'm down to 136.2, my goal is 130 (I'm 5'2"). I'm getting close!

I NEVER weigh myself. Well never is a bit to strong a word but I would say I have only weighed myself about two or three times in the last four years. I use my clothes to tell me if I'm on track but really if I am staying within my calorie limits I'm ok.

I weigh myself most days, but it got me in trouble this winter. I maintained my weight all winter, but my clothes got tighter and tighter. I wasn't exercising and part of me knew I was getting bigger, but since the number on the scale didn't change, I convinced myself I didn't need to change either. My denial finally ended and I'm at the gym again. I think I'll hang a tape measure next to the scale for a double reality check.
