Can’t let the scale get in your head but for me it is a useful tool

There are several people on this app that need to gain weight. They are underweight!

I’m currently at a quote normal weight according to Dr and the BMI index but I get a lot of comments about being so thin. I just ignore it. I personally don’t think I’m that thin. I know that if you’ve been heavy all your life which, I was, you don’t always see the thin you in the mirror. I feel like I’m still that chubby little girl. I’ve always had skinnier legs and I think that is why people think I’m thin. My middle, nope still pudgy in my eyes. I have never had an issue gaining weight, losing was the issue. Low carb worked to lose that’s for sure but I think the biggest thing was cutting out sugar. As a diabetic I find eating nuts to much causes weight gain especially peanuts, so perhaps increase your nut intake.

By the time i feel any shift in weight it would be a hard push to lose it rather know when its only A couple of lbs

I found that weighing oneself regularly can become a vicious cycle. Do we really need to know our weight at all times? We could be going along feeling fine and it's time to step on the scale and then OMG I gained two pounds and all of a sudden the good mood vanishes. It works the other way as well. We could step on the scale, find we've lost two pounds and feel it's fine to have that slice of apple pie now. As far as a nutritionist I've gotten some valuable advice and it's always my choice on what I think is valid and what isn't. No one is forcing me to adhere to everything she has to say.
