Not using a weight scale anymore

[bzbnmom]

My scale broke down last week. Know what? I'm not replacing it just yet. Thank you mini-natty for inspiring me! I think this will make me more aware of how I feel, how my clothes fit, AND what goes in my mouth. I think it will force me to be more consistently cautious rather than reacting only because of a fluctuating number on a scale. Wish me luck!

I gave up my scale years ago. I rely on how my clothes fit mostly.

Congrats! I'm 41 and proud to say I've never owned a scale. I'll check on occasionally at my mom's but that's it. You'll know by how your clothes fit.

Awww, thank you .

I found this blog by Nia Shanks (and article about scales) to be extremely motivating and inspiring:
The Weight on the Barbell is Important - Not the Scale

Reading her blog has encouraged me to re-evaluate my health/fitness goals.

Enjoy!

All the best

Same here. The only time I step on a scale is at my annual check-up.

I recently discovered Nia Shanks. I agree, she has a great blog!

I'm envious! I wear my clothes loose so judging by clothes gets me into trouble. When my scale broke I went without and 3 months later had gained 10 lbs! I hop on the scale at least once a week to keep it real for me!!

I another convert. I never owned a scale but would hope on my moms often. I let the number effect how i felt or what i did for the day. I actually went and bought one. Then I was weighing myself daily, not good. I stopped a month ago and even though its been only a month i feel more in control. I don't get that frantic feeling of OMG, what the hell did i do? Thanks Nat!
