i hate scales!

But i find i usually checkmy weight on an every other day bases, if not more. Ive been really busy and hadnt gotten on the scale in 3 days......So i stepped on one this morning and im up almost 4 pounds. I sit here and think about what i eat....... and remember ive purged a lot as well. I also started my period 2 days ago and am hoping that maybe that has a factor in my weight gain. Now im depressed and just want to go eat more........ food is my comfort, i hate it. But i wont eat, because right now i am having trouble purging, it hurts. Not anything clinical, I drove in a demolition derby on monday and my necks all screwy along with the muscles in it. Yesterday i tried to purge and the throat muscles I can usually control were so sore. i guess i just felt like ranting sorry. Hope everyones doing ait.

scales always tell me the same thing, no change, same weight as when i was a teen (thats been sometime ago)

always barely above starving level.. i know partly its my own training which keeps me this way ...food is more like work than enjoyment.. i watch the adds for the foods that i enjoy.. i like simple cooking tho.. get it over with..

i know a lot of my thinking is influenced by my surroundings... i dont try to be thin, but i am..

i drink a lot of liquids tho to keep me sustained.. ive always heard liquid vitamins are the best so i do what i can to take all my essentials which ive learned over time are not necessarily contained in our packaged food life..

i could stand to gain some weight.. i look for high calorie products... im rather stupid about nutrition tho.. i just try to follow what was taught in school so many years ago but i find food manufacturers are focused on the business line m ore than the health line...

ive learned to watch out for deceptive advertising.. this is my health we're talking here... sorry if they need to make a buck, but i need to breathe...

slowly advertisers are catching on to the health food wave... its a switch to go from burgers to healthy and nutritious wraps or salads, but i like the thought of watching my grandchildren grow...

i hate them. all they ever say is F A T A S S.

Scales are a pile of s**t. I hate them, they change, but never change enough if you get what I mean?

Horrid isn't it? Ugh, scales.. I don't know why I ever bought them

one thing i really hate too, is that if you are muscular you weigh more because muscle is more dense.

and if the scale says more, your bmi goes up, and if that goes up then all hell breaks loose in my mind.

they're really god awful little machines that never should have been made. why does weight need to be measured anyways?

clothing sizes say enough for me

Me too, that's why I won't do anything that builds up my muscles too much..

Yeah, same here clothes sizes are enough for me too.. I hate those ******* numbers on the scales!

So this might not work for everyone, but here's my little experience with the evil scale.

My Mom threw my bathroom one away a few years ago when I was still in high school. I was SO MAD at first.

Then I got used to it. I never knew what I weighed from age 17 to this past year in college (YUP, 2 years!) When I went to the health center for BC pills. I'd put on about 25 (MUCH NEEDED) pounds last summer. When she told me my weight I was like OH CRAP--and freaked out.

Everytime I go to the doctor, I ask to be weighed backwards. I don't even look at the numbers. I go by how my clothes fit and what I see in the mirror. Scales are so freaking mean and evil and should only be allowed to age 7...because after that, they're just depressing

*HUG*

i'd hate to not know though..id just feel huge all of the time, sometimes i can get on the scale and when it doesnt say as big as i think, it makes me feel better.

otherwise its my worst enemy, bc 'im so muscular, it makes the scale higher even though you look smaller'
