Short question, long answer... When I get up (I might gain when gravity finds me) After I pee (get rid of that excess water) After I get naked (the nightgown might weigh something) After I shower (wash off all of that heavy old dirt) After I poop (get rid of that excess you-know-what) Before I get dressed (maybe some more water evaporated) After I get dressed (let's see, how much do the clothes weigh?) Before I eat (can I have more or less this meal?) After I eat (sheesh - can 1/2 cup of cottage cheese really weigh half a pound?) If I feel fat (usually) If I feel thin (rarely) When clothes are too tight (they must have shrunk) When clothes feel loose (again, rarely) Before I go to bed (maybe I didn't really eat too much for dinner) When I get up.... Etc., Etc. Etc. It's really not that bad, but I must confess that I have done stuff like that in the past. Now I weigh naked before I shower (after the bathroom stuff of course). That is my "official" weight for the day. Then I generally hop back on before bed to see whether I can expect the scale to stay the same the next day or go down. I hope that I can wean myself except for once every few days, but overweighing, like overweight, has been a longterm pattern in my life! Charlotte

Charlotte..did you ever think of therapy to get over your scale obsession! Just kidding. I know I could do the same things though. I always weigh 1st thing in the am after I potty. Or at least that is the weight I will keep for the day! Julie

Charlotte, too funny! It really is like that isn't it? I know I am really doing myself a favor when I only weigh once a day, after all those things! When I get really bummed I try to wait a week, I think I managed to wait two days, before sneaking apeak just to see if it is still stuck! Thanks for the grin!

I have lost 8lbs as of this am..from what my scale said the day before I left. Not bad. If I could poop I am sure it would be a lot less!

I only weigh once a week. In the first couple of weeks I would get on the scale daily and got too disappointed. I would rather wait a week and see some loss than be bummed out if the scale doesn't move. I hate to weigh. I didn't even weigh myself before surgery (I don't own a scale) and had to email Rosella for my pre-op weight.
