I used to be the same way: if I weighed myself midweek and I was up, I'd totally freak out and binge eat. So I had to stop weighing myself unless it was my weigh in day (I do WW online, so I weigh at home anyway). My scale is my guest bathroom and I keep the door closed and never use that bathroom so I'm not even tempted to weigh in. Like, I'm not sure about this week, I exercised double what I normally do, but have eaten about half my weeklies and I don't know what to expect Monday. I'm soooo tempted to weigh in tomorrow, just to see, but I can't. Because I know that if it's up -- even just a little -- I won't stay on point tomorrow.
Keep in mind that even if you are right on point, our weight fluctuates from day to day, sometimes even during a single day it can go up or down 2 lbs. So what you see midweek might not be a true weight gain at all, which is why if you're going to focus on the number make sure it's on weigh in day.
