Might be time to hide the scale

Not that I've gained too much weight but those numbers have been climbing faster & faster and it freaks me out when I see the scale.  I feel good & feel like I look good, so the numbers shouldn't matter, right?  Why can't I break the habit of jumping on that scale each day?

LOL... I JUST got off the scale!?

I have a Dr's appt this evening, and I was worried because I got scolded a little bit the last time around because in I gained 7lbs last month. Fortunately, THIS month I only gained 2. So I guess that evens that out!

I thnk that it is just in our nature. Can't you tell the DH to hide it and make him promise not to tell you where he placed it? lol

I feel the exact same way.  I weigh myself every Tuesday, and it seems like every week it's up another 2 lbs.  It's disheartening, even though in my head I know it's necessary, and I'm doing what's best.

When I was losing weight Pre-Preg. I put a sticker over the last digit on the scale. I would only know when I was down 10 pounds and couldn't obsess about the day to day changes.

I think I just need to double up my efforts to work out (I've been slacking) and make sure I don't drink too many calories (juice, soda, etc).

I weigh myself almost every day...really need to stop doing that!!! I think I might be starting to obsess!

That's an interesting idea.  I would be a happy girl then because I'll stay within 10lbs for awhile....hopefully.

I've only gotten on the scale once at home....I have been paying attention to what they've been weighing me at at the Dr's office though

 

I don't feel too bad about it, I think I was gaining more weight with DS.

Pre-pregnancy I jumped on the scale every morning before my Shower.  Being pregnant, I avoid the scale. I've just been weighing myself at my doctor's appointments.  I'll drive myself crazy if I weigh myself everyday.
