Think I'll order a bodyfat tester though since that would be better. I think we've been so programmed to expect the scale to drop as we get fit, that we base our "success" on the scale. Thanks for the blog. I definitely fall intot hat trap. Think I’ll order a bodyfat tester though since that would be better.

Thankfully, I have no scale at my apartment, but my boyfriend does. I check my weight in the morning, and at night, with my clothes and without. I check it before and after I have some sort of bowel movement. Part of it is fun, "let's see how much weight I can lose with this poop..." But I get obsessive when I am there or at my gym. My weight is going down, but I check it way too often. I know it isn't the true test, but it is so accessible, and I often rely on it soley. Thanks for the blog. We all do it, but it is often so hard to get away from. I check my weight way too often. Thankfully, I have no scale at my apartment, but my boyfriend does.

I usually weight myself every 3 weeks because i know we fluctuate on a daily. The scale is so tempting, even when its a cold as ice mistress.
