Get your butt off that scale – NOW!

21 Oct

How often do you weigh yourself? Daily? Weekly? Never step off the scale?? Not good.

Thank you for this post Mama….

I used to be obsessive about weighing myself, up to 5 times a day.

I no longer own a scale, and only step on one every couple months to see if i am around my ideal..

I now watch the girls at my gym step on and off daily …the same ones, and i feel very sorry for them. Wish i could shake them out of that ‘ED HAZE’…

I agree with this! I have no clue what I weigh and when my nutritionist weighs me to make sure I am in safe range, I get on backwards. F the scale. A # does not determine your sel-worth.

I used to obsessively weigh myself multiple times a day until my therapist suggested having a ceremonial throwing away of my scale…this entailed writing with a marker all over it and then using a hammer to smash it to pieces…it was really cathartic. And I definitely don’t miss the obsession and focus on the numbers…there are times when I’m curious about my weight but I know for my health and well being I should just keep track based on how my clothes are fitting.
