That's awesome!! I'm avoiding it too only because it hasn't budged in forever and it's making me mad :/ lol I feel like I've been stuck here for ever 3 weeks and nothing, it's been like this for me since 3 weeks after surgery I will go two three weeks and lose nothing then I will lose two pounds :( ahh I started a food diary today to make sure I'm witin my limits so we shall see :/

Kathy - I need to!!. I'm too scale obsessed right now. Things finally got moving again after a three week plateau and I keep hoping I'll wake up in Onederland. I have my two month check up next week and I'm going to try and avoid weighing until then.

Mora - hang in there. I just got off the longest plateau and WL starts up again when you least expect it.

I which I could be that way weigh once a week but I usually get on the scale every morning!

It was hard but now I'm out of the habit of stepping on it first thing in the morning. Mora- My weight loss sounds like yours. Three times since surgery (3 months next week) I've hit a plateau for 1 1/2 weeks then dropped 3-5 lbs. So hopefully keeping of the scales will help me. I thought I was eating too much, saw the NUT last week and she said I'm likely getting 800-1000 calories a day. I tracked it for two days and she was correct. So despite doubting myself, I am doing things correctly - and I bet you are too :) Kathy

Kathy thats great your doing well. Im suposto only weigh 2x a week. For a bit I kept the scale in the closet and only let it stay out on teus and friday. lol little sucker wont go back in this week.

I keep a food log also and now I have to track my fluids. Ive been geting over 100 plus ounces a day and mirolax made me retain 11lbs in fluid in less then two weeks so Im using that as my excuse to use it dailey lol.

Wonder if other people need a 12 step program for an addiction to the scale?

katlin,
I think the answer would be yes. I know I am addicted to it. I did go two days without weighing before I stepped on this morning. I was upset because there was no change. I guess I shouldn't complain too much since I have lost 28lbs in 3 weeks but I keeping hoping to see a change everyday. Oh well. I know I need to weigh once a week but the weight has been coming off so fast it is almost like a high.

katrinah it absolutely is a high to see the numbers drop so fast. I dont even know when it became this bad for me it seemed to just start as oh there is the scale i think ill see where i stand. Since my revision its more work on me to keep off the lbs from my original and revsion that i lost and im almost in a panic. My body mostly did it for me before by rejecting food. strange how things can go from being for health to being obssessed with staying a size 6

"Hello, my name is Becca and I am a scale whore".... (I am in the recovery process :))

Katlin, I like the new pic! :)

I am also a scale whore!!
I can't stop!!
First thing after a pee in the morning I have to do it!!
Help!!
And then if I poop right after, I weigh myself again!!!
TMI ??
Isn't that a little overboard??
Am I alone in this?!?!

Me too! I wiegh several times a day. I don't suppose it hurts anything.

ty becca that pic took my friend awhile to get my dog just is not an easy boy lol

also becca i love your post I think you found our first line to the scale addicted and not anomus group. ;)

I am KatLin and I also am a scale whore ........working on recovery with my therapist Im so far not a good paitent

sgt it really dosent hurt at first but for me it became every time i went in or by the bathroom. then id get frustrated if the numbers were to far up at any time thinking Im gaining and wont stop. it got worse after my revision and my body just droped 20 lbs after stoping for 2 mths. anyway my scale goes in the closet by the kitchen now for the most part untill i hear it crying to come out and anoy me more :)

My boyfriend threw away the scale and I'm no longer allowed to have one in the house.

I love all these posts!! KatLin- love your new picture! I am Kathy and I am a recovering scale whore. One day at a time.....tomorrow is my day. Oh and one more observation--- when I weighed in after a "productive" trip to the bathroom, I was always up!!!! Go figure. Tomorrow is my weigh in day but whose counting? Kathy

I am addicted to my scale. Every morning first thing. I pee first, then get naked and stand on the scale. I get mad at myself when the numbers don't move.

Ladies and gentleman it sound as if a scale intervention is in order! Or better yet a "scale addition forum" on DS. d
