Unhappy Scale Phobia

OK, I read tons and tons of posts about people who are addicted to weighing themselves, daily or many times a day, and I just shake my head in amazement. The scale isn't my friend either, but I have the exact opposite problem.

I have to FORCE myself to step on the scale, and it's probably the scariest 10 seconds of my entire week.

Now I know there's the no-weigh challenges, and I would win all of them if I let myself, but for me, unless I see a concrete number, I sort of have the out-of-sight-out-of-mind mentality and I sort of go into denial...maybe I'd have the tendency to slack off here and there on the diet...that's what got me into trouble since August, and that's another reason I restarted induction in the beginning of October. I hadn't been weighing myself, and I was really shocked at the results when I finally did.

Now I really do force myself to weigh every Friday morning. I start thinking about it usually on Monday or Tuesday (I'm already thinking about it today) and wondering which way the scale will go (hopefully down) and how far it will go.

Is there anyone else with this problem?

Default Re: Scale Phobia

I guess, yes me too. I just hate that thing. I do everything right and it still hates me. Check my sig line and you will see how I am dealing with it.
