Not weighing anymore

[PeacheyPeach]

Hi all
So I've been feeling good about myself and my weight loss. Until that is yesterday when I thought I'd have a sneaky weigh in. My scales showed that I've not lost anything in weeks and I'm a stone over what I want to get to . I feel really disheartened today and I just want to go mad with the biscuit tin 🤣 Ive just been looking up "how to lose a stone in a month" which I know is madness. Before I weighed myself I was pleased with how I look but now all I can see are the faults,
I know that by weighing myself I'm putting pressure on myself and a number on the scales is not the most important factor ( or is it!?)
Does anyone else keep away from the scales.

I do. I figured out that taking regular measurements is waaaay better for me than weighing myself even once or twice a week (leave alone doing that every day). Once the number on the scales is not satisfying I start pushing myself into unhealthier diets or exhausting workouts, even though I know that weight depends on many factors, so I decided to just stop.
What works for me is taking pictures of myself once a week and combining them into collages to compare and see the progress. It doesn't make me nervous like the scales did and it's really simple. I came across this advice in some weigh loss chat on Fb and used a facebook collage app, but it can be done via your phone as well. The only important thing here is that you need to wear the same underwear (or at least something that looks alike) and make sure your poses don't differ, it make the comparison easier.
Now I take pictures every two weeks and also take occasional measurements of my body. Been doing fine and absolutely not going anywhere near scales
