Obsession

According to the American Heritage Stedman's Medical Dictionary the definitions are:

a) compulsive preoccupation with an idea or an unwanted feeling or emotion,
often accompanied by symptoms of anxiety

b) a compulsive, often unreasonable idea or emotion


I am completely addicted to the scale. I don't always post my weight here everyday, but bet your bottom dollar I weigh myself many times throughout the day. The closer I become to the goals that I have spoken about that are just right around the corner, the more I am weighing myself.

I hope once I reach goal (whatever that is), that I will be able to back off the scale some. I'd like to get to only weighing once a day. I just know I don't want to ever get back to the point I was before, and that is going to take some effort on my part.

Weight is the same as it was yesterday.

People develop different relationships with the scale. It's not always a healthy thing! I have an electronic scale so I used to keep the batteries out of it and I only weighed once a week under the same conditions. I avoid the scale now because I don't want to be obsessed with THE NUMBER. It can start to mess with your head!
