Dear all
Part of what I have seen as a LL counsellor is that my clients who weigh themselves at home seem to struggle more than those who don't.
When I did 7 months in abstinence I didn't weigh myself at home at all and I do think it made it easier for me.
I have been reading a fascinating book about financial markets called Fooled by Randomness which has a theory about why people who check their portfolio value all the time are unhappier than those who check their statements much less often, even where they make the same net returns - it's to do with a 'bad' fluctuation having a much greater effect on how you feel than a 'good' fluctuation.
So I am very interested in all your experiences - do you weigh between meetings, and what effect do you think it has on you?
