Ditching the scales support thread

[HotToGo]

I've worked hard to heal my relationship with food and exercise since becoming a parent.

I'm a healthy weight, I work out, I enjoy food.....so far so good.

But I still get a bit too preoccupied with the number on the scale. It's escalated this year where I was weighing every evening and every morning. Tracking it all in the health app on the iPhone. It's ridiculous!

My weight fluctuates over the year by a couple of kg but it's pretty stable. But I seem to have got a bit obsessed with it.

I want to make a clean break and just not weigh anymore. I didn't weigh this morning for the first time in ages. It felt weird but freeing.

Anyone else relate or want to join me?

Bumping in the hope of some friends 😂

I've got cold turkey for 2 days now.

Not me I like to hop on the scales now and then ….if my weights pushed up a couple of pounds I can shift it before it becomes a problem for me.

@Kitkat1523 I'm going to hide this thread because your post is the opposite of what I need to read at the moment

I too like to check my weight regularly so that I can adapt my eating/exercising upwards or downwards if necessary.

I would love to do this! I started this thread a few days ago

I’m finding it tough to be honest as the behaviour is really ingrained.

@HotToGo i also find it much easier if I physically remove the scales completely, like put them in the loft.

Yes please! I'd like to join.

I'm currently trying to ignore the scales and have also ditched calorie counting, it takes up way too much headspace.

I'm just trying to eat well, exercise well and judge how I feel rather than a number on a scale. I'd rather use how my clothes fit and how I feel as an indicator of how healthy I am.
