Does anyone not look at the scale when they weigh you at the doctor?

I sure as hell ain't gonna be doing that today--still in post-holiday slimming mode :eyes:

1. My Dr's scale

weighs me 5lbs heavier than the one at home but it is consistent.

:hi:

2. No, because

I weigh myself at home on the first of the month at 7:00 in the morning with the same clothes on and on the same scale. Even if my scale is not accurate (and I think it is) it will give me a weight trend (up or down.) I'd rather a "foreign" scale's reading not throw a wrench into my anally retentive psyche.

3. I never look.

4. I tell 'em to give me the number in kilos

it just sounds like less

5. I don't need to.

When the nurse asks, "Would you like to step on the scale?" I say, "No, thank you. I weighed myself this morning and I weigh xxx pounds." She thanks me and writes it down. It's easier on everyone that way. :rofl:

6. It lies

I track my weight pretty carefully, but always do it in the AM without clothes. After breakfast, lunch a couple of glasses of water and clothers its usually at least 5# more at the doctors

7. I don't

Part of my recovery from an eating disorder includes not being obsessed with the numbers. I let the doctor weigh me and ask them to not tell me other than to say whether my weight is stable. I generally fluctuate at a healthy weight with a 10 lb range and I've learned to live with that and not be nuts about what the exact numbers are. Life is MUCH better this way.

8. Pft, they are always broken anyway (nt)

[CatholicEdHead]

9. I look at it

and then subtract 5-7 lbs for clothes, shoes, etc...

10. I always look....

:) It doesn't bother me as long as it's not several pounds higher than the last time I was there...
