scale went bye-bye

[vfb2girls]

I got so dang discourage with my weight going up and down that I took my scale and hid it way in the back of the closet in my daughters room and push the baby crib in front of it..I am now going to go by how I look with and without my clothes and in a month I will weigh myself. So wish me luck cuz I think I was having an addiction to weighing myself.

Good for you! I hope you have more will power than I did. I put my scale in the bottom of a cabinet under lots of stuff, but the dang thing ended up just where it started a couple weeks later. You have the right attitude- looking and feeling better is a more accurate way of tracking your progress than the scale.

I have found that the scale is evil. In like 2 days I gained a pound and a half.....and I thought I was eating better then I had in weeks. Oh well....don't forget to measure yourself. Those inches are just as important as the pounds.

I'm so glad you decided to break this addiction to the scale. I've done the same thing.

I'm wishing you great success! I know how hard it is to stay off the scale!I've just started Mar 1 and I think I am addicted to weighing myself too- I do it all day long! It's so silly. I have made a committment- Once a week- Sunday Morning- that's going to be it for the week. So I weighed myself this am- wrote it down- and will do my best to hold out until next Sunday!

Here's hoping both of us stay strong!

I really try to weigh on my usual WI day (Friday) and then I'll do a sneak weigh in on Monday's just to kind of keep me on track.

You could also measure yourself to keep track. Alot of times even if the scale isn't moving, you are losing inches. I have learned that from a lot of people here on WISH.
