How Can I Break My Scale Addiction?



Recommended Posts

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!

Put it in your closet! Bring it out once or twice a week...I'm still trying to break the habit, but I've done pretty well now weighing weekly. I do cheat occasionally but nothing compared to when I weighed morning, noon, and at night it was INSANE!

yea this is a tough one. I weight daily when I wake up..but I RECORD my weight on a calendar only on Mondays. That way I can only use the "formal" number on the calendar for my tracking. In my head I've trained myself the monday number is the only one that counts...

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.

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
