To Weigh or Not To Weigh

I first want to say that I have a Love-Hate relationship with the scale. I was banded on Thursday Sept 2nd, and since then I can definitely tell I'm down a few pounds. My pants are a little bigger than I remember, and since then I've had an intense urge to step on the scale!

So do I weigh or not weigh?

I can see where the scale can be a positive motivator, but if the number isn't where I want it to be, I risk discouragement and disappointment.

Any Thoughts?

I was obsessed with the scale for 2 months pre-op and a few weeks post-op. I would get on it 3-4 times a day. Once I realized I was making myself crazy I put the scale up in the cabinet and now I take it out on friday mornings only.
