I hate scales. I have a phobia. When I was pregnant I refused to look at the scale during all my weigh-ins, and the nurses knew not to say the number out loud. There was never a problem. During labour with Bad, the anesthetist asked my weight, and perplexed when I didn't know, continued asking. Finally Hubs yelled "She stood backwards on the scale! What's not to get? She'd never tell you the truth with me in here anyway....just look it up in her chart!" God love him, he knows me.
Around the time I wrote this post, I sucked it up and stood on the scales Hubs uses to weigh packages for shipping. Gah! I knew I hadn't lost all the baby weight, but....gah! I decided then and there that I would lose it all before my birthday. I've put off starting until now, because I like me some Christmas goodies, and sick of food after all that gluttony seemed a good starting place. I thought about starting a second blog to chart my food intake and progress, and calling it 'fatness jones' but if any of you did that I'd march over and smuck you upside the head for being mean to my friend, so I'll do my journalling offline and just give you a weekly update.
I blame some of the weight on Hubs, some on the Princess, and some on Bad, but as none of them has held me down and forced Oreos down my throat I guess I'll just have to own up to some of that blame myself. I'm gonna drink some water and walk the dog now....might as well get started!

I hate scales, too! I used to check my weight all the time, but then I stopped...and I know my weight has been creeping up. I can feel it on my clothes. Which has made me avoid scales even more. Then today, in Manchester, there were scales in the AIRPORT washroom!! I couldn't believe it. I almost took it as a sign that it is time to make some changes -- but when we arrived home in Norway, I promptly had some marzipan and forgot about it. Until this post.
Now I'm seriously considering going out and buying myself some scales. To try to lose a few kilos before the spring. Thanks for the timely reminder and good luck to you!!

I wish we lived close so we could walk the dogs together!
I need to get on a diet too.
And I just ate a big piece of cake.
How much can I throw up before I become bulemic?
I check my weight obsessively. I know exactly how much I have gained over Christmas, and how much baby weight I need to lose. ugh.
Wanna make a pact together? I so need a get healthy and fit partner!
I avoid scales, but have fattened up. Grr.
Must. Lose. Weight.
I'll play along if you need another willing Loser. =)
Anyhoo...Happy New Year!
Wow, you have great will power! I cannot imagine having a dog+kids, what a lot of work!
You go girl!
The scale... sigh. I get on the scale at least twice a week, if not more. If it's starting to look a little ugly I make sure I eat more vegetables than sweet stuff for awhile. And if the number is looking good, hello chocolate!
Good luck! I hate scales. Haven't ever owned one, but I am mulling over the idea... especially since my jeans are all too tight. Think it's possible that they all shrunk at the same time?
Losing weight sucks, but I'll be going down that path in the spring after I have this baby!
I hate scales also, but I've been a little obsessed with the scale this pregnancy since I had no control when I had my son - and gained about 85 lbs.
Okay, but really, Fatness Jones cracked me up. (not that I think you are fat)
If only water weren't so darn tasteless! I'm dieting, too! Gotta lose this pregnancy weight once and for all! So, I'm with you! ;)
I hate scales, too. And, I refused to even use them for the longest time. I'm debating whether or not they actually help you lose weight. Not sure yet. It's better to gage your success based on how your clothes feel, I think. Good luck with it!!
I hate scales.
hate.them.with.a.passion.
And I hate whoever invented them.
I know I shouldn't, but I do.
I hate scales too. They make me crazy and control how I feel about myself - not good! I only weigh myself once in awhile now to keep things in check and it's much better.
I could have written this post last year so I know you can do it:) Go girl!
I hate scales too but still have an obsession with them. I'm down to once a month climbing on them though. However, I do use a tape measure around my waist and hips about once a week. It's an illness.
Good luck to you! I ate a late lunch and skipped dinner tonight. It's time.
It's all about weight today,isn't it? I'd throw a few platitudes at you, but I'm sure you know them all.
So, just keep on truckin'.
I wrote on Fight the Fluffy a few weeks ago about how much I love my new scales. I really do. I weigh myself every day. Weight Watchers recommends only doing it weekly, but I know myself well enough that I need daily progress checks at this point. It helps that I've had successes all along. The other part of it is that I ignored my weight for ten years, which is why I'm now doing WW and eating lots of salads.
Feel free to wander over to Fight the Fluffy and join us!
