obsessed with the scales and angry
 

oh i am so very anoyed at myself:devil:

i use my wii fit most days and i am terrible for doing the "daily" body test and weighing myself. i know its stupd to do this but i cant help it, then i get down f i see the slightest increase or f it hasnt gone down.

i know these increases can be down to stupd things like having a later snack than usual so food is still in your stomach or that am just starting out so fat is turning to muscle and that weighs more! but its getting me down and becomng a source of arguments between friends.

please i need to stop weighing myself! has anyone experienced this? how do you overcome it?

i felt toned and happy after swimmng today and now i am just urgh....

much love

First off, you're the same height as my mom. :D Just saying...

Second, I just started exercising and have gained 2 lbs. Don't worry about it. Exercise definitely does add weight initially. I hate it too. :mad: I suggest taking body measurements instead if the scale annoys you.

I just started daily weighing and I really like it because I actually obsess less. If, however, it's having the opposite effect on you, try not weighing except on one particular day per week, like on Friday. Just click "training" on the Wii Fit. ;)

I thought this was a pretty good thread a while back that discussed this issue with some good different perpsectives and opinions. You might want to give it a glance...

wow what an intersting thread, so much to consider and everyones opinions have good points.

i am going to try leaving it a week, i know i am eating and excercising right so i need to chill.

god this is going to be hard :-)

Weigh in ONCE a week, girl! It's going to do your psyche SO much good.

I dont even like weighing in weekly but it seems that I cant help it lol Im going to try to WI monthly and it wouldnt be that hard if I didnt have a scale in the bathroom at work.
