I either have to weigh myself EVERYDAY or I refuse to weigh myself at all. I have no happy medium. If I'm not being particularly careful about what I eat, I won't weigh myself. If I am being extra careful, I am neurotic about it, weighing myself several times a day, even though I know it will change based on what I'm wearing and what I've eaten.
If I lose a pound or two, it is a great motivator. I find myself working extra hard, thinking that if only I can keep up *this* weight loss I can be such and such weight by such and such date (I've done this before).
If I gain a pound or two, though, it is an incredible defeat, and it can cause me to almost give up. THAT DIDN'T WORK, I might yell at the scale. But I ate so good and worked out for almost two hours!
So I am going to a twice a week weigh-in. It's a healthy compromise, I think. Wednesday and Sunday. For now the scale is "hidden" in the bottom drawer in my closet.
