Oh, don't worry about it Alex.  It happens to me ALL the time!  Once I realized that 2 cups of coffee weighs a pound....I don't stress over those fluctuations. I always just set my ticker to the lowest weight I've seen on the scale.   What's crazy is that sometimes right before I lose, I'll go up a couple pounds a few days before. It's like my body knows I'm about to lose so it tries to fight me!  ha ha  Sounds weird I know....

I weigh myself once  a year at the doctors when I get my physical.I use to do it everyday and I would cry and make myself and doug miserable because it set the tone for the day.Then one day I was whining to my dad and he said"Why do you do that??Can't you feel when your pants are getting tight?? When your clothes get tight back away from the table!" It was the best advice I have ever been given.I refuse to buy bigger clothes and i am very happy with myself because i am more than a number. :) Thanks Daddy!!

I think we are all addictive personalities and being addicted to the scale and our goals is not much different from being addicted to food. The problem is Alex, that your weight will fluctuate from day to day and as you know that damn scale can set you moods for the day. :o

Alex you are well on your way, all you need to do is............

I have chuckled a lot while reading all these posts.  Thank you all for making my day this AM.  Alex, I too was up this AM after having lost yesterday....and yes....I have been on the scale every day (don't tell on me).  Best of all I relate to Jo, as my clothes got tighter I sure let the dust gather on my scales.  I only touched them when I was cleaning the bathroom floor and they were in my way lol!

This is the best place to come for support, comfort and a chuckle or two.  Now I can forget about today's gain and look forward to tomorrow (not what's for dinner).  Thanks everyone!
