My lesson for this week is that sometimes you have to ignore the scale. You do everything right, and you simply cannot let the numbers discourage you.
I decided that I totally wish I had the control to only weigh myself every 3 days or once a week, like some. I just don't. I can control what I eat, but I want those numbers to creep down everyday. Is that wrong?
I should say, is it wrong to let myself be pissed off all day when I gain weight for no good reason? Don't answer: The answer is yes. I cannot let the mild fluctuations that occur get me down when I know I'm doing everything right.
I know intellectually it's temporary and that tomorrow it could go down 3 pounds. I just wish things didn't bounce around. But they do, and I have to do a back flip and get over myself!

I hear you; big time! I can't help myself either - I weigh myself every morning. And I know I shouldn't. :-/ So ... you're not alone. :)

I feel the same way! Honestly me and the scale are worst enemies. I weigh myself periodically throughout the day, even though I know you are not supposed to. So definitely not alone. :/

Thank you both for letting me know that I'm not alone. I know it's a silly compulsion. I almost want to keep the scale a mile away at a friend's house so I'd have to walk a mile to get there, haha!

Good attitude. The scale is only a tool, not a god.
