Anyone else have problems with scales & obsessive weighing? I had gotten so much better for a long time (didn't even weigh myself daily, maybe once a week or every couple of weeks), but now I am having the problem of weighing myself every time I use the bathroom even though I know my weight is most accurate first thing in the morning, not during the day when I've been eating & drinking (not talking alcohol, things like water, Diet Coke, coffee). And after running, if I sweat a lot (usually I do), I will weigh less than my first weight of the day, and the stupid ED loves it.
I wish scales had never been invented. Why do we let a number define & determine our self-worth? It doesn't make sense and yet I can't stop it  |
I learned a long time ago fluctuations throughout the day, or even over a few days, don't really mean anything. So there's no use letting myself get depressed, or get my hopes up over meaningless gains and losses.
I used to weigh too much for me, multiple times per day, but I've been able to successfully limit myself to once per day for quite awhile now. Sometimes i know the number may be stressful, but for me its always much more stressful not knowing.
One thing that helped me cut down to once per day weigh ins is where i keep the scale. Its slid under my dresser. I slide it out once while getting ready, then back out of sight it goes!
