Scale or No Scale? XPost

Still struggling with the maintenance thing. Such a mind f**k. I want to gain some weight. I just don't want to watch while it happens. I have put on a few pounds in the last few weeks and while I want that to happen I still hate to see the scale go up.
What I have realized is that I have never watched myself gain weight. Except when I was pregnant and for some reason that was okay, but other then that when I knew I was going to gain weight I avoided the scale and therefore could act shocked when I did finally weigh myself and see the number going up. I swear when I regained the last time, 70 lbs, it was a surprise, not that I had gained of course but how much. I really thought when I got on the scale at my doctor's office it was going to say something like 190, not 220.
So, do I hide the scales (yes, I have 2) and go by my clothes? Or do I keep weighing myself daily, because I tell myself I want to see if what I am doing is working?
What do successful maintainers do?

Great question Tazz, cant wait to get some feed back.
My sister hardly weighs, because if she is more than 100 pounds she freaks out. She pays close attention to how her clothes fit. Obviously we are on opposite ends of the eating disorder continuum.

i wouldn't say I was in successful maintainance yet.  I gained 6 lbs over my trip, now back down 3, and my clothes didn't fit any different.  I'm not sure how much I would have to gain to make a difference.  But you want to gain and I don't.  I really don't even like the little fluctuations that I know are very normal.
I know, i'm not very helpful.  But I understand where you are coming from.  Maybe Roz and Gina will have some advice.

That scale is a hard question. Immediately after surgery I weighed daily our sometimes even more. When loss slowed down,I fixated on it and the dr office encouraged me to lose the scale. I only weighed at his office. That worked great for me as I felt a sense of release. After my loss stopped I weighed about once a week and the doctor agreed with this. After I had maintained the same weight effortlessly (I thought) some how I started thinking the surgery had turned me into someone who could eat anything I wanted and stay the same weight. I gradually stopped weighing especially if I had eaten poorly. 15 pounds later I finally woke up.
Kind of a long way to say that I think everyone had to find what works for them at the stage they are in right then. For me,I think I will need to weigh daily for the rest of my life. It is the only w.ay I won't lie to myself or try to avoid what I am putting in my mouth.
