Does anyone have a scale addiction?



Recommended Posts

I am also extremely obsessed! Does anyone else notice that they lose weight AFTER a shower? Yep, .5 lbs sometimes. Also, a hot bath. Somedays I will take it anywhere I can get it.

We did hide the scale today. It is too much of a disappointment when you exercise, eat right, drink your Water, and gain 2 lbs. :omg: now, unless I cheat, it is once a week, on Friday mornings. My DH says that way we will have worked all week and it is before the weekend!

2 weeks til my first fill, hopefully then the scale will take a swift dive. :nervous

I know exactly where everyone is coming from...I am now trying to break my addiction to the scales...It can be depressing some times to step on it every morning with such a small if any change...I am on my 3rd day of not weighing in and am trying to go till the 27th before I step on that scale so I can be totally excited with the loss (I hope)...Breaking the habit might as well have a 12 step program

I have a current scale addiction also. maybe 3 - 4 times a day! After bathroom breaks , after meals , in the beging of the day at the end of the day. Its crazy but I have been at a stand still for the past couple of days and it making me nuts!!!!!!!!!

I've heard that, but I get into trouble when I don't weigh in every day. I've learned to be OK with the not moving/going up when I know I've been eating well. But when I'm not eating well, I avoid the scale, and go right on up.

Ok....everytime I try to lose weight, I become addicted to the scale. I hop on at least 3 times a day to see where I am....even though I KNOW it hasn't moved. LOL When I did Atkins, I used the keto-sticks every time I pee'd to make sure they still turned pink. Does anyone else get like this? I am getting next week, and don't want the scale to run my life. I might just have to throw it away and drive somewhere to weigh myself.

I weigh myself 3-5 times a day, I know it is becoming a problem. I expect it to go down from morning to mid-morning, dinner whatever. I assume it should move down constantly and when it doesn't move I am a wreck....

I don't know how to beat it. I have to have it. I think it is the only thing getting me through this.... I am glad and saddened I am not the only one.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
