I am convinced that weighing monthly for the first 7 months or so was a huge help to me at the time when I was really trying to get my new way of eating ingrained. I didn't eat this or not eat that because of what the scale would be telling me tomorrow, I ate this and not ate that because I was striving for a healthy diet with lots of nutrients and an appropriate amount of calories. I knew TMI from the scale was going to make me
, and honestly I was more concerned that I was going to overrestrict for as long as possible, lose control, have one binge, and it would be over. I've done that enough times.
Now I weigh weekly, because I want to develop a less emotionally charged relationship with the scale. At first when I saw a week with no loss, my mind would go back to "what unsustainable methods can I turn to to get this thing moving again?" But luckily I had enough months under my belt to know that if I just kept at it, the scale would go down in its time. Yeah, that less-frequent weighing at first really helped me.
