Good for you, Beth! Now you can become a slave to the scale like the rest of us....LOL!
Sherrie, I was already a slave to the scale except it was costing me gas money to run 5 minutes across town to the hospital to weigh there which I was doing once to twice a week. Cheaper to buy the scale in the long run especially when gas is $4 a gal.
I have also found that TOPS is making me a slave to the scale whether it intends to or not because I can't bear to go in there with a gain because it makes me feel let down. I love seeing it go down down down every week.
The other thing I like about the scale is that I can catch my weight gains EARLY which I believe was a big part of my problem before with the mentality, "OH, it's only 5 pounds." Well, do I need to say that number tends to grow exponentially when ignored? So, now I don't take any gain lightly. I immediately act whether it is increasing fluid intake, decreasin portions or exercising. I evaluate the week or two leading up to the weight gain and try to tweak the areas I got lax in. It usually works.
I think I am one who needs to be somewhat of a slave to the scale simply to keep me on my toes and paying attention which I have never really done before...Me thinks this is why I am where I am.
