I also am obsessed with my scale. This is what happened. I had moved so I needed to buy myself a scale in February. It read the same weight that I had lost from last summer and it was fairly consistant. Then I realized one day, it never really changed, I found that no matter what it stopped on a certain weight. I finally found out when I was at a friends house that it was wrong. The whole time thinking I had not gained weight, I cheated and was horrible, my eating habits just stunk. So, that one went in the trash and I bought a better one, not the cheapy one I had. It seems to work good, because it did read the same as others I stepped on. So, I find if I don't have my scale, well, what I know won't hurt me,,,,when in fact it does. I need to know if my actions have come with consequences. So, now, every morning and night I have to hit my scale to see what it says.
It personally helps me greatly.
