How Can I Break My Scale Addiction?

Honestly, it has gotten to a bad point with me. I was weighing myself more then once a day, cut that back to once a day but I am constantly tempted to hop on the scale to see what it says. I have somehow managed to only weigh myself every other day for the past couple times. But even now I am feeling the temptation to weigh myself. I am obsessing over the numbers and want help in figuring out how to at the most weigh myself once a week.

I don't know if anyone can help me kick my scale addiction but I figure it can't hurt to ask.

Thanks!

I read on here where someone brought thier scale over to thier Mom's house.....lol. Closet does not work for me. I have asked my husband to hide it but when he seen me digging from room to room he gave up doing that.

Guilty...

I didn't weigh for like 6 months prior to surgery and now I jump on the scale every time I pee! It's ridiculous. I think I am going to put it in the closet.

See you tomorrow chica :)

I thougth I was the only one.....I was weighing myself every single time I walked into the bathroom. I too have gotten myself down to just in the mornings. I think because that is when I weigh the least. Makes me feel even better about my progress. :) I want to get to the point where I weigh just once a week.

If hiding it won't work, you could always try giving it away it a friend or family member and then only weigh yourself at their house once or twice a month.

Smashing the scale with a sledgehammer might be liberating.
