You KNOW you're obsessed about weight loss when:

When you blow your nose, look at the tissue afterwards and think “I wonder how much this weighs?”

When you weigh yourself, don't like the number, and crawl back in bed, waiting for the next pee just to be able to post lower numbers on the scale. (And then get really mad when it doesn't change!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok I admit to having done these, does anyone else have any to add to the list?

...when you shave your legs and pluck your eyebrows before weekly weigh in.

...when you are willing to risk public nudity charges to shed clothing weight before weekly weigh in.

...when you have a shrine for your scale.

...when you tear down and burn the scale's shrine because it's betrayed you. 

When you make sure to put your contacts back in before weighing because they weigh less than your glasses.

oooooo man!! just this morning i had the same exact thought after blowing my nose!! lol the obsession continues hahaha

ahahaha ohmylanta I just laughed out loud. that's great.

I'm happy to report I've not this extreme. I weigh-in when I remember, & I always have clothes on...

When you clean out your bellybutton with a Q-tip!!

When you search the cough medicine bottle for nutritional information :s

When you research how many calories you burn by chewing gum : )

when you weigh without specs

LOL!  These are great!  For what it's worth, I keep my scale in the kitchen, close to the food, like it's going to help.

Here's one that I caught myself doing and had forgotten about:

When you fast-walk (3.0 or faster) in circles at the bus stop waiting for the bus so you can burn more calories and count it as exercise time.

 I've done this! I was actually checking my kids' vitamins the other day, and there's like 15 calories in 2 vitamins!! (They're gummy ones though)

...when you pick the scales up, wiggle it a bit and hope its a different result

...when you can tell your doctor the exact measurements of not only your body but portions of each food type you've had that day

...when you recruit all your friends to be your body guards against bad food

 

LOL< safiyah!   ( :

you're on another challenge I am on, and this one made me laugh as the day progressed.   I am obsessed enough to workout like a fiend.  And I mean, FIEND. 

OH YEAH!~

Ya! wtf! I weigh myself every morning and am not happy so I wait for my next pee and weigh and it usually says a higher number! lol seriously wtf that pee couldnt have made me gain weight! lol

I started only weighing once now for that reason haha!

LOL, I always take off all my jewelery before I weigh myself.  Just out of curiosity, I did weigh them one day, and the normal jewelery I wear every day, (wedding, engagement, eternity and dress ring and a locket with a fine chain) and it came to 100g, so it does make a difference.  My wedding and engagement ring are surprisingly heavy, I remember when I was first engaged being constantly aware of the strange weight on my finger.

Anyway, one day, I was nibbling on some dried fruit, and decided to give my cats one of their treats. I was not paying much attention, and accidentally ate one of the cats liver treats. First thought "I wonder how many calories are in that". Silly I know.  Actually, once my sister and I did try cat food (I think we were 8 or so), it smelled really yummy, but it did not taste it, LOL.

This is only the truth.. I got my hair cut simply because I thought it weighed me down...

But This lady I work with recently had a breast reduction from DD to just a D and also had some liposuction done along with the augmentation, and she told me that she didn't lose a lb from it.. thats a big drop too, so i guess we can't depend on some of the smallest things to reduce our weight..

 LOL, I know these are so funny.  We're on the August Weight Loss Challenge together, right?  I am excited about that one.

Yesterday morning I was sitting here on the couch frustrated because I weighed myself in at 188.4 (.2 gain from the day before) and I really wanted that number lower.  So I climbed back in bed for a bit till I peed, AND pooped and went running back to the scale and the number was the same?  I was mad, thinking 'no WAY I can consider that exercise' then sat down on the couch and blew my nose and thought "well I wonder how much THIS weighs?"

That's when I caught myself, realized what I was doing and laughed my butt off at myself.  And I figured my silliness would make someone else's day.

Speaking of which, I've got another one...

When you RUSH to the computer to log your weight because it's LOWER than the day before but procrastinate putting in a higher weight (knowing that CC is right about how our weight fluctuations happens all the time and it's perfectly natural).

I about broke my neck this morning logging my 1.6 lb loss.

Or how about this one:

When you get REALLY EXCITED about a really GOOD bowel movement (even if it's at work and everyone KNOWS you did it) because you know that's going to lower the scale. 

I did that one yesterday, I was like WAHOOO!!!!  I had 2 or three, and I was TICKLED PINK!  I came out of the stall just dancing away, and the 2 or 3 girls waiting in line actually hesitated to go in the stall, looking at me like I'd grown horns.

We're a funny lot, aren't we?  Or maybe it's just me.

 Monabeth, DID it weigh you down?  Do you miss you're long hair?  I'm trying to let my hair grow long and I'm worried about what it will look like once it IS long...

yep, safiyah --   LOL, I am like that too.  I am the most regular person I know, and the bf is starting to realize what a healthier diet will do for him in that arena (where he is usually not an every day go-er).    I cannot FATHOM not going every day (usually more than once).  (BLUSH)

I blew my nose this morning and thought of you!  LOL
