I am absolutely making myself go nuts!
I have this ridiculous habit of weighing myself 4 times a day!
*seriously!!*
Once in the morning, once in the afternoon and twice in the evening,

Why do I do it?? I do not know. All I know is that I am going crazy.

How often do you weigh yourself??

You surely will make yourself batsh*t crazy if you weigh yourself that often!

I weigh myself when my clothing starts to fit differently -- looser or tighter -- and that's all.

Honeslty -- would you like to mail me your scale for safekeeping?  Or, considering the cost of postage, just to give it to someone else for a while?

I think I'm going to see if my twin brother would take it...I cannot tell you how much I truly weigh!
It's somewhere between 159-163

Anyhow, so like once a month sound good??

I just want to get over this ridiculous mentality that my worth is based on whatever the number the scale says for that day...

I truly think that based on whatever number I see, that I talk myself into what I do or don't deserve.

Blah!! I'm ready to quit obsessing!

Some think that confronting our tormentors is the best.  I happen to think it's best to send the tormentors away.

Give it to your twin!!!

Pick a time of day and do it once.  It will be hard at first but you'll get better over time. 

I weigh upon rising, buck naked almost daily.  Occaisionally during the day fully clothes or in the buff just so I know the difference.  If I ever posted a loss during the day I'd likely weigh mid day too but that does not happen for me. 

I refuse to say put the scale away.  In my opinion, weighing daily is a defense against slipping be it at weight loss or maintenance.  If I had kept this daily ritual after low carbing on the stillman diet as a teenager I may never have gained 130 lbs. 

Pick the time with the best number.  Then do it only once.  Its a maddening compulsion but really not the end of the world.

I weight once a week at the pcp's office. Don't even own a scale. I can get compulsive about scales because I get compulsive about the one that lives at my DD's home,lol. I will weigh twice a day on that thing when I am visiting.

Once a week is good for me. Slose enough to be aware of what is going on,but far enough apart to not get compulsive about it. I don't need any more compulsions,lol.

My surgeon requires daily weighing.  I weigh morning and night.  I also weigh every Monday night at WW.  With statistics of 1 in 3 gaining back weight, I want to do everything I can do avoid ever going into denial about my weight.  I figure having to weigh at WW will keep me honest should the scale ever start going up.

I weigh myself every time I find myself naked.  In the morning before I eat or drink anything, when I get home from work, and before I go to bed.   I just recently got into this habit.  I really need to ride herd on myself and it really helps me, but it ****** me when I don't lose for weeks!!
