I refuse to weigh myself anymore. I know that daily or weekly weighing works for others, but it just gives me unnecessary stress. I used to literally have a sick feeling in my stomach when I was about to step on the scale. Obviously, I was giving it too much power. I am trying to make this way of eating about getting healthier with a side bonus of being able to fit into a "new" wardrobe (aka, the clothes that stopped fitting me 40 lbs. ago).
I do think it is important to be truthful to ourselves, though. I sometimes used to avoid the scale when I gave up on a "diet" and didn't want to face that reality. If you don't believe you'll do that (I don't believe I will), then I say, "Give that scale away!"
