so i did my weekly weigh in, which is good for me seeing as it was 2 times a day and from last week i lost 2 lbs. and last week i didn't know how i gained 2 lbs., but when i saw that low number i was overjoyed, which i know is sooo bad, so the scale is still so evil, isn't ist too bad that a mechanical device can make or break our whole life, it shows my self esteem is in the toilet, when 2 lbs allows you to be happy or not. i want to get to the point where i dont need the scale, can go out to eat, and enjoy my life, i think about what if i found out i was dying, i would look back over my life and be disappointed i wasted it on ed, and my kids will not remember me as being a happy, nice person, only bummed out all the time!! hope you are all good!! case

hey case
i think, in recovery, its good to get to the point where you trust your own body.
at the moment, i went through a patch, like you are, where i only let myself be weighed once a week, and it really made a massive impact on how i felt about myself.
now, i try and trust my body and as i dont weigh myself everyweek - the numbers arent affecting my life as much...and guesswhat??? - my body weight has stabolised...yes, your body will go up and down...but its good to no that it will work it self out
take care of your self case 1
