Why weigh everyday?

Is there some level of comfort to be gotten from it? I feel like I would go batty myself but I'm curious as to why others do it. My thing is, if you weigh everyday then you are bound to find a stall somewhere. Not judging just curious.

I am unable to control myself! I just cannot walk by those scales. Right now things are going well so it gives me a little boost to know the weight is still coming off. I had a short stall of 5 days but I did not get to caught up in it since everyone else was going through a bit of a stall themselves. That's why I love this April Board. Most of us are in the same stage and we can share what's going on with each other.

I personally know that I can not start to step on a scale. Its not going to matter what that scale says, I'm going to think that I'm not doing something right and its not coming off quick enough. So I dont weigh. I completely understand how addictive it could be I did weigh today just to see if I where I was at. I will not step on a scale again until I see the doctor on June 20th. Peace and protein if you need it Amanda

Two simple words in my case : Obsessive Compulsive!

Sometimes I weigh everyday and sometimes I don't. Based on knowing what I eat and drink I notice patterns. I like looking for them. I am excited about the numbers. Even when I gained 5 pounds I still knew I was okay because I knew the reason why. If something happens out of the ordinary and without a logical reason I know it's something to watch out for. Okay fine, I am obsessive Compulsive

I have only weighed twice since surgery both times at the docs office! I intentionally took the batteries out of the scale so I would not be tempted. I think I would go crazy weighing everyday. Roz

I weigh myself every morning but I don't freak out if I haven't lost anything. I haven't been bothered by the scale at all because I have been losing and not gaining even with a few stalls along the way. So even though I weigh every morning I'm happy about what the scale says whether I stay the same or go down!

Plain and simple - I cheat. Not really cheating, but I definitely have a tough time w/ the protein, so I find myself eating 4 oz of veggies as a meal, instead of 2/3 protein. I keep an eye on how I am doing and know that I will stall and have issues, but I can't keep some of the proteins down at all, and then the fatigue hits after being sick for days, etc. So I eat what my pouch will let me eat (spinach, beans, green beans, tofu, etc.) and I know that if I am stalling too long, I need to jump-start w/ more protein and try to tough it out. Usually, I do this over the weekend, when I can afford to feel like crap or spend an hour after each meal, convincing myself that it's going to stay down this time, and I can get more than 2 oz of chicken, fish, or turkey down.
