Default Eating behaviour the day before weigh-in

Hi all,

I've fallen into a pattern of weighing myself twice a week, on Wednesday and Sunday morning. I've noticed that I tend to eat a little cautiously on the days before weigh-in -- slightly fewer calories and definitely less sodium. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Anyone else notice similar tendencies?

Definitely. I weigh myself only once every 2-3 weeks, but the night before a weigh-in, I always tend to be a bit more cautious with dinner.

Absolutely, I'm extremely careful the day before weigh-in :

On a lighter note I had a wonderful supportive Weight Watchers leader once who admitted that she became so fixated on reaching a goal number that she weighed in without her prosthetic breasts (she had had a double mast). It really brought up to her how we was, just possibly, obsessing more than was reasonable about the number!
