Scale Wh*re!!!!

[BayougirlMrsS 3,933]

Most every day since 2009 i have done the exact same thing..... I wake up, get out of bed, walk to the bathroom, pee, and then step on the scale. (except when on vacation). Anyone else?

Daily weighing drives me crazy, so no.

I was just thinking about this earlier. I can not stop myself. I want to only weigh myself once a week, but I can not do it. It is like an automatic thing that I can not get myself to quit.

I think it would so much more satisfying to only see the progress in a week.

To be fair, I did this before WLS....so it's a habit I've had for a long time, not just because of the surgery.

Yup, I’m the same way, but i also strip down naked before I get on the scale!

Same. I pee poop strip naked to keep it consistent. Then I move the scale to a different part of the tile if I don’t like the results (it can change if one pad is on the grout). :)

I weigh myself at least 4 times a day. I like to see what I weigh before/after peeing and pooping too! It's a fun hobby!

Yep every day I have access to my scales. I usually have Breakfast, then after my second pee of the morning, & bm I get on the scales in my underwear before I get dressed. I try to keep the scales on the same tile too for consistency.

I need to kick this habit. I'm subconsciously sabotaging myself with food if I've gained or not lost, and tend to slacken off about if I have lost. So it's not good either way. Bad habits from my yoyo dieting days. So it's not helpful to me to weigh daily, even though I do it morning and night. I need to move to monthly weighing but can't break my scale addiction.....

well i sleep naked.... so no clothes to take off..... hehehe..... I have tried to stop, but i can't. If there is a scale, i will step on it. It sits right in front of the toilet... and it taunts me... It tells me ..... You know you want to know...

I have even tried to move it around the house..... i simply go to it and then eventually bring it back to it's place.

ughhhhhhh..., it's the devil i tell ya.

Ain’t nothin’ wrong with daily weighs, nor multiple weighs in a day for that matter, so long as it isn’t affecting your mental health! Lol. (Some can handle it, others can’t ❤️).

Besides my daily morning weigh-in, i also get on the scale before showers, or if i’m in the bathroom when changing clothes....basically whenever I find myself naked, lol.

But I don’t get on scales that aren’t mine though (unless at the doctor’s and i don't even count that weight), as I like to keep variability to a minimum.

I weigh daily, this has been a habit before surgery. It helps me, when I fall off from daily weigh ins, I tend to gain weight.

Yes personally it keeps me on track so I don't get complacent
