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.

      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'. ???

        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.

      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!
