Do any of you get so wrapped up in your own head about weighing in at Weight Watchers that it makes you go nuts lol!

I'm to the point that I won't go weigh in at WW until i lose the weight i gained since my last weigh in which was weeks ago. Does that make sense? It's nuts i know, but mentally i can't hear a higher number than the last high number on the scale when i was there to weigh in

I'm starting to think i've forgotten how to stay on plan!!!

I totally relate! I am the same way.

That would take years for me, Go and don't beat yourself up over it!! Life happens you're back on track. Some times the biggest victory is just making that first meeting-- back!!

Its obvious that the week you have a gain is the week you need to be there the most.

Quilter is right -- THIS is the week to go weigh in, when you know you're up. I know it's scary, but if you keep putting off the weigh in, you might never get back on track. If nothing else, go in and find out where you are at and make a plan from there.

I've found that weighing in even when I knew I gained has been easier for me to get back on track. Kind of like stopping the train wreck before it gets too out of hand. I have only skipped weigh in once because of knowing I've gained. It almost made it worse since I knew I wasn't weighing in that week, I was allowing myself to be more footloose and fancy-free. (BAD IDEA!)

I do understand the feeling. However, it is not rational and is just a recipe for disaster.

The reality is you weigh what you weigh right now. Pretending you don't by being afraid to weigh in won't change the reality.

I really, really do know of what I speak. When I became a lifetime member 20 years ago I soon thereafter went out of town for 2 weeks where I had to eat out 3 meals a day. I came back to town and knew that I was more than 2 pounds above goal weight.

I was too embarrassed to go weigh in. I just felt humiliated to leave to go out of town as a lifetime member and to go back and have to pay. I felt that everyone would know, etc. So I decided I wouldn't go back until I was back to goal weight.

Unsurprisingly, I didn't go back for years as I just kept going up and up.

Obviously, the best thing would have been for me to simply go back, pay my money and then get back to my goal in a few weeks (which would have been easy at the time).

If I couldn't face doing that (which I couldn't) I realize now that I should have just gone to a different meeting where I didn't know anyone and weighed in there until I got to goal.

In any event, my wanting to pretend I hadn't gained weight did nothing to help me. It only hurt me.

I understand...But, for me weighing in and seeing the higher number might be a downer...but it's also like a slap in the face to see what I've been doing wrong to correct is so that next week I see the number go down! Something that helps me, is with the program I'm doing through my work, we have to PAY when we gain weight (25 cents a pound) so that's what I think about throughout the week if I decide I want something that I don't have the points for "Do I want it enough to pay a quarter????" So far (3 weeks) the answer has been "nope!" Maybe you can keep a jar for youself and hold yourself accountable that way....When you gain you pay.....When you hit your goal you can use that money to do something for yourself as a treat, or make yourself donate it somewhere or to someone....using it as a treat might make you not care if you gain

This is exactly it. Go back now, face reality, and set yourself up for success.

I've always spent so much of my life revolved about that number on the scale, even when i was down to 170. I would give anything to be that now Guess i have to suck it up and take the plunge and find that dedication i used to have!
