Weighing myself

[Laneorexorcist]

I'm currently trying to lose some weight and I think that I would pretty much be weighing myself a lot if I had a scale, but relatively luckily, I don't. But I do think myself measuring my waist or checking if my clothes are looser than they used to be before starting to wanting to lose weight... But still, if you feel like it's something that it's affecting your life, then you should maybe get rid of it, there's no need for you to keep attached to it.

If I have a weighing scale at home, I would probably weigh myself many times a day. I did think about getting one but after looking at the prices, I decided that there are many more things I would like to do with the money. So now, I weigh myself, more or less, once a month, when I see my doctor. It's quite depressing, though. I have been trying to lose weight for months and yet my weight is still hovering around the 100Kg mark.

No, I have never become obsessed with the scale even when I was losing weight. At the most I weigh myself every 2 to 3 days. I think in your case that has indeed become an obsessive habit. It's not normal to weight yourself that often. Nowadays since I'm not dieting it takes months before I remember to weigh myself.

I got a bit obsessive when I lost a lot of weight and mostly it was because I was appreciating what I was seeing and looking at the scale and my weight made me feel victorious in a way. Sadly I gained a bit of the we it back so now I just avoid it since it will just depress me. I am now in the process of correcting my diet again so I could lose weight again but I don't think I will step on the scale until I see significant visual progress.

20-25 times a day? Whoa! That's just really overdoing it. Remember that even if you have just eaten, your weight may not change much just because your stomach is filled by the moment.

Dear OP, be careful... weighing yourself that often  can actually hinder your efforts!  I tell you from experience    The ideal would be to weigh yourself once a week, always the same day. Try to do it early in the morning, before eating or drinking anything.    If you can't manage this, then maybe you should keep the scale away?  Maybe ask your mom to keep it in her home, so you don't feel the urge to weigh yourself in so often?
