Great question Tazz, cant wait to get some feed back.
My sister hardly weighs, because if she is more than 100 pounds she freaks out. She pays close attention to how her clothes fit. Obviously we are on opposite ends of the eating disorder continuum.

That scale is a hard question. Immediately after surgery I weighed daily our sometimes even more. When loss slowed down,I fixated on it and the dr office encouraged me to lose the scale. I only weighed at his office. That worked great for me as I felt a sense of release. After my loss stopped I weighed about once a week and the doctor agreed with this. After I had maintained the same weight effortlessly (I thought) some how I started thinking the surgery had turned me into someone who could eat anything I wanted and stay the same weight. I gradually stopped weighing especially if I had eaten poorly. 15 pounds later I finally woke up.
Kind of a long way to say that I think everyone had to find what works for them at the stage they are in right then. For me,I think I will need to weigh daily for the rest of my life. It is the only w.ay I won't lie to myself or try to avoid what I am putting in my mouth.
