How do I stop my obsession with gaining weight?

[Anonymous]

I weigh myself evey morning which means the scale determines my mood for the day. If I see a decrease in weight, I'm obviously in a better mood for the rest of the day. The opposite is true when I gain as little as half a pound. How do I get rid of this obsession with the scale?

Get rid of the scale. Do you work out?

If so, then you definitely need to get rid of the scale. Go to google and search " 1 lb. of fat vs 1 lb. of muscle"

Both are a pound, but the muscle is obviously more lean and takes up less space. Also from experience, I lost 10 lbs of fat and gained 5 lbs of muscle. So even though the number on the scale hasn't changed much, I look and feel better than ever!

Good luck, and if you ever need nutritional or exercise advice, I'm here to help. I have my PT certification!

ditch it. I'm serious. i used to be like that. focus on yummy healthy food and moving about a lot. stay happy, stay strong. that stupid thing doesn't mean much when u know ur looking after yourself, or even trying to.

Calculate your target weight as the weight that would give you a body mass index of 20. The minimum to be healthy is 18, so 20 will give you a safety margin.
This will keep you looking healthy without being too skinny (=fragile to infections).
By making that weight your goal, you will avoid anorexia and at the same time look nice :D

You really shouldn't weigh yourself everyday , i would say at the most at least
once every 10 days , how to stop obsessing is to tell yourself no and just walk
past the scale.

don't worry about your weight. Worry about how you look.
