My warped logic...

I know that you'll already know that I'm warped... but I had a terrible response to lunch today. Great digestive disturbane like I hadn't had happen in months and months. Absolutely yucky. But you know what I thought about? I wondered if there would be an effect on the scale tomorrow morning. Seriously. That is where my mind went. Sick, sick, sick and even sicker. I worry about myself sometimes. Kathy

Kathy, I worry about having a not so healthy relationship with the scale as well. I've been good about only allowing myself to weigh once a week, but, I almost feel sick before I weigh...I know it will affect how I feel. Lori

I have a set relationship with my scale. I weigh daily in the morning and sometimes I'll jump on late in the day out of morbid curiousity, I guess. LOL. The number I see on the scale doesn't set my mood for the day. I don't get upset if I see a 2 lb jump... in fact, that is not unusual for me so I think my daily weigh-ins have let me accept the normal ups and downs that my body goes through. I jump on wondering "okay, what will you give me today" since I cannot usually predict. Weighing more than once a day probably isn't the best of ideas but.. I think my reaction from it and how it affects me makes it okay. Sorry to hear that you get queasy before getting on the scale each week. Kathy

Oooo....I do the same thing! I've had a little stress in my life this past week and when I went home, first thing I did was hop on the scale! Good news, bad news...I lost 6 lbs but I know it wasn't a healthy loss. It was great to see the scale show 169.4 even if it was only for a day (I'm back to 170.4 today). 6 lbs is huge for me now. Last month I only lost about 3.5 lbs. At least I didn't resort to food to handle the stress. I'm a daily-weigh-er-in-er but, for me, it keeps me working at this. Too easy for me to slack off if I would only weight weekly or monthly.
