Ok that is what i feel like saying to my scale. Im avoiding her because although i have not go e totally off the deep end but i did do alot of stress eating. My drug of choice sugar mostly chocolate.

Yesterday I went to a St. Pat party and I did not stick to the dietary guidelines I'd set for myself. I didn't break any of my postoperative restrictions but I did graze more than i intended and didn't stick to protien foods. This morning I knew I'd gain but I also know at least personally my biggest motivator to getting back on track was going to be seeing how far off track I went.

I haven't had one of those weeks recently but I did around Christmas. It wasn't pretty, believe me.

However, as disheartening and depressing as it can be, I personally believe when we fall off the wagon isn't the time to avoid the scale. I believe seeing that number increase holds us accountable so we're less likely to make those mistakes again.

Hang in there

I put my scale away 3 mts ago and it was not good for me. I got back on it last week and I had gained back 25 of the 50 I had lost. So now my scale is sitting out in the wide open so i have to see it. I have been where your at and have felt that way too, but dont let it RULE you. Pull it out and get back on that wagon. YOU CAN DO IT!!!

The best thing you could do would be to get on the scale. It's a reality check for one thing and the numbers don't lie... So it should be motivation to get back on track.

I avoided the scale for 50 years and it got me to 377 lbs.... Just saying

The scale keeps me focused... I weigh every morning , I believe it either motivates me or makes me mad.. either way I stay on track... sometimes it surprises me.. I had a little birthday cake Sat for my grandaughters birthday and I thought I would gain or surely not lose.. surprise..I lost 1 lb. so the scale has to stay in my bathroom.. probably will be for life now.

Yes, I can relate and feel like that now after having family in town and eating what I have not been normally eating. But, reading the responses above, they are right! We can't hide from the scale. Let's put the scales back and face the music.

I weigh every day. It keeps me motivated. And so far so good!!!

It does no good to avoid your scale. It is just living in denial. Woman up and own it!
