Every chance I get! I'm a little obsessed I knw I do it way too much

I do it every day in the morning, after I go to the washroom. I'm a little OCD but I don't think I'm even the slightest bit capable of an eating disorder :)

I stepped on the scale today, and I was missing a whopping 4.5 pounds. But then again I'm on my period. I think that's totally foul, hehe.

Every day, in the morning. I weigh in on Fridays but I can't help but weigh everyday... for me, it's very frustrating because it's always up/down/up/down no matter what.

I didn't want to admit it, but me too. I find that if I don't weigh myself atleast 1x a day, I fall off the wagon. But its gotten to the point where it can dictate my mood.

Once a week (officially) sometimes I will step on the middle of the week but I don't like too because if it's up then I get depressed. I ALWAYS do it first thing in the morning, after I pee, and with a littel clothes on as possible. I made the mistake of weighing myself in the evening once and I was up 5 pounds. The very next morning (not more than 9 hours later) those 5 pounds were gone - Thank God!

I'm bad; I weigh myself every time I go to the bathroom. BUT, the number I record for my weight for the day is the one I get immediately after using the bathroom first thing in the morning.

I weigh myself every morning, naked, after I've used the bathroom. However, I only count my Friday weight. Much like almost everyone commenting in this thread, I feel I use the scale too much, so I'm trying to cut back to 3-4 times a week. =b

every morning- only bra and panties

duckyyellowfeet 09-22-2009 08:16 PM

daily. I know I shouldn't because it fluctuates too much. I keep track only on wednesdays.

I used to do weekly then recently switched to daily, but I'm going back to weekly (in the morning, naked), as I think the everyday thing is making me neurotic. And I keep expecting to see a loss and then I don't and then I feel crappy. I guess if I do it weekly and still see no loss, I'll still feel crappy, but at least only once a week!

I think it's made me too obsessed with the numbers, rather than how I look and feel.

I only weigh in "officially" once a week on Sunday. "Unofficially" I weigh in daily after I go to the bathroom in the morning. It's obsessive but this is the first time I have been truly committed to my weight loss.

I weigh after I've pottied and showered in the mornin, In the kitchen (that's where the scale is, it fits better in the kitchen than in the bathroom), naked, a few days a week.

I too, have noticed that if I've had a great weigh-in, I have a GREAT eating day. If it's a bad morning weigh-in, I tend to just care a little less. I've started tracking my period through an iphone app though, so now I know what days I can blame my bad weigh-ins on that, to help deter the over-eating a little. (It's sad sounding, but if I know it's not my "fault" that it's a bad weigh in, I'm better at staying OP)

There's a whole LOT of analyzing I could do on myself based on those few sentences, and it doesn't look good...but it's honest!

I weigh myself every morning after I pee in my undies! I only count Monday weigh-ins as my official weight though.

It doesn't bother me at all to weigh in everyday. If I'm up oh well, knowing me its prbly due to lack of sleep or too much salt. Anyways I pretty much know what cause little fluctuations. Its when I don't that I start to freak out!

mara11jade 09-23-2009 09:23 PM

Yeah... I guess I started this thread for two reasons:

1) Just honestly wanted to know what others were doing :)
2) Remind people to relax if they can about it. I had already found myself starting to drift into this thinking myself as a "number" ideology. Mentally it's been a few years since I've been in that mindset... but it can really get you down!!

I usually weight 2x a day. Once in the morning and once at night. It helps keep me motivated:carrot:
