buying a scale.

Ok so I said I would not buy a scale this time around because I didn't want to become addicted like I did in the past when I had tried another weight loss method that made me lose weight. But now I'm having 2nd thoughts.

I refuse to give up mine, and YES. I weigh every single day.

It works for me and doesn't drive me crazy. So if it drives you crazy, don't buy it. If it doesn't then that's fine too. Maybe buy one and put it at someone else's house? So you could weigh 2 times a week or something?

Have you ever thought about other ways to measure your success. Why does it always have to be about the number.

For example you could judge it by your clothes fitting.

When I hated getting on the scale I judged my weight by my toes. In the shower I would look straight down and determine where I could see my toes. I knew it was time for surgery when my toes disappeared. I am proud to say I can now see my toes and half of my feet.

Be creative an find something that will work for you if you know the scale will make you obsessed and stressed out.

I like the idea of seeing how much weight you have lost, from how much of your toes and feet you can see!

I'm totally addicted to my scale!!! Could not go a day without weighing. I personally could not go without one
