Addicted to the scales....

Ever since surgery I have not had any scales in the house. The reason was that I didn't want to become obsessed with how much weight I was losing. I would simply wait until I went in for my dr appt and at that time I would get my weight. Now this does not mean that I didn't, upon occasion, step onto the scales at my friends home to see what her scales would say. Anyways, I decided that since I was now at the point to where I don't go back to the dr for three month increments I would go and purchase some scales for home so that I could see if I was losing. I looked around on the message boards and was trying to determine what type of scales to get. Some people buy the scales that monitor not only your weight, but your BMI also. Most people who had the scales that monitored the BMI said that overall the BMI wsa not always accurate. For this reason I decided not to spend the extra money on a scale with the BMI monitor. I looked around at Wally World and finally decided on a simple, digital scale that ran around $20. I then proceded to weigh myself every day all day long. I would get on the scales at all hours of the day. The one thing that I did not want to do, become addicted to the scales, I was becoming addicted. I needed to get myself to the point where I had the scales in my house and only weighed myself once a week. I haven't gotten to that point yet, but I have gotten to the point where I only weigh myself every other day. Morale of the story, be aware of the fact that while scales are ok to have, don't let it get to the point where you feel the need to see how many ounces you are losing each day.
