Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / June 2004Scale broke - having withdrawal symptoms
I normally weigh naked second thing in the morning almost every morning. Our scales didn't work Friday morning and replacing the battery didn't fix it. Since we're moving in a month and a half, we've vowed not to buy anything that's not consumable, so no new scales until we're in the new house. I can weigh at the gym on Saturdays, Tuesdays and Thursdays but it won't be under "normal" conditions. I weighed 183 yesterday on their balance scale and out of curiosity weighed the shorts, t-shirt and underwear I was wearing on my "food" scale and they weighed 1 lb 1-1/4 oz. How's that for annal? So I'm declaring my official weigh at 182 and I'm not going to think much about the weigh of water and food in my system. I do miss my morning ritual very much but I'm hoping that I'll be able to adjust eventually. It's weird but so far this morning I can't shake off the "I need to weigh" urge. Habits are hard to break no matter what they involve!

That's good to know that other people (well, at least one un-weird person) do the same thing. Tonia Tonia wrote: > Thanks.

Would be interesting to see what happens to your weight during that time... Keep us updated... I spent a week without a scale at a all inclusive resort and gained 1-2 lbs. i >> I normally weigh naked second thing in the morning almost every morning. >> Our scales didn't work Friday morning and replacing the battery didn't fix [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > >i But surely this isn't quite the same thing and won't be likely to happen to Tonia unless she goes off her WOE. Your gain would have been due to being at the all inclusive resort, rather than not being able to weigh yourself everyday - no? janice (who will never understand daily weighing!) >>> I normally weigh naked second thing in the morning almost every morning. >>> Our scales didn't work Friday morning and replacing the battery didn't fix [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > been due to being at the all inclusive resort, rather than not being > able to weigh yourself everyday - no? It's hard to say what is the exact cause, but quite possibly I would adjust myself sooner if I knew I was regaining. So, I am curious what will happen to Tonia. i > > I normally weigh naked second thing in the morning almost every morning. > > Our scales didn't work Friday morning and replacing the battery didn't fix [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > i I will continue to weigh and measure my portion and keep my calorie intake at the level that I need it to be to lose weight so I really don't think that not weighing every morning will cause me to gain weight. I'll also exercise like I have been doing. I just miss part of my morning ritual. Tonia 221/182/130 me too me too me too. I have even considered taking my scales on holidays, never gone that far, but I have considered it. I weigh every day naked too, when I started WW I came home and weighed my self to compared the scales then weighed my clothes too.

I haven't gone as far as weighing my clothes though. I have cut back on weighing myself now though. sometimes I forget to do it. and other times I just don't have time to. I try not to stress over that I stress over other things way too much. my b/f says I'm gonna give myself an alser with all the stressing I do. sometimes it's over the littlest things too.

The time scale for loss really is month to month no matter that nearly no one is willing to wait that long. Weighing weekly is enough to check for soemthing wrong happening. Weighing daily works okay if and only if you are completely objective and unemotional about it. Folks who freak out at the natural bounce should stay off the scales. Folks who calmly enter today's data into a spreadsheet that gives a weighed running average should keep on weighing. Writing about withdrawal symptoms even as a joke puts you in the shouldn't group in my opinion. So it's a good thing your scale broke. It let's you break what eventually became an addiction. |
