Obsessed with the Scale

I think one of my problems is that I am completely obsessed with my scale. I know that the key to sustained weight loss is to just lose 1-2 pounds per week. I don't know why I feel the need to get on the scale every morning to see what changes were wrought overnight. I am continually disappointed when I don't see major changes or when - egads - I see a gain!

I have now vowed to not get on the scale until my Mon. weigh-ins. That's it. No more checking mid-week, just to see. Once per week and that's it!
