Thank You, Jonesy, I was getting depressed reading this thread. I like what Patty said too--I have never watched my weight, but I have observed it over the years. That's pretty much where I stand on this issue. Sorry it is not a very helpful perspective.
Shabbychick I don't think I know what I weigh at the moment either. I've started going on the fit of my skinnies, if they're feeling a bit tight I know I need to cut down on the junk x
I read a book years ago "The Schwartzbein Principle", and learned never to weigh myself...I've never looked back! I spent so many years anorexic, depriving myself and never being satisfied with what I saw, I've been punished enough to last a lifetime! I refuse to allow a BMI chart (which is inaccurate on so many levels) and a scale to run my life. If my clothes get tight I watch the carbs, but this is a war I'm just not fighting anymore.
Yep, I agree about the dangers of weighing yourself. I haven't owned a scale since -- well, never, actually, because back when I was anorexic in my late teens, the scale was in my parents' house! I use the tight waistband method of assessing whether or not to cut back on cookies.
I'm with shabbychick in the happy place club! I find that I don't stress about the numbers if I don't know what they are. If I'm healthy, my clothes fit, and I think I look good that is all that matters to me.
