I like to weigh myself all the time--before and after workouts, before and after I pee. Am I strange?

Question

I don't know why I feel the impulse to do this as I'm not really trying to gain or lose much weight.

Answer 1

It's a little obsessive, but so long as you're not trying to gain or lose weight, it sounds pretty harmless. Everyone has certain rituals that are basically little things that if they had enough of them people would say they had Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), but for most people they don't get in the way of anything (OCD is basically when those rituals do get in the way). One of your OCD-like rituals is weighing yourself a lot, which is fine so long as you don't start to become obsessed with weighing more or less than you do now. If you were weighing yourself compusively to see if you'd lost any weight yet I'd worry that you might be developing an eating disorder, but if it's just something you do with the result not mattering too much the it's fine.

Answer 2

This is not true OCD. A little strange, but no doubt every person does some little thing that others would think is strange. If it worries you that you do this then try to cut back on weighing yourself as much. I wouldn't worry about it though. There's a lot worse things a person could be doing with their time.

Answer 3

Weigh your self the morning you artwork out, in the previous you artwork out, via fact the water you drink etc will substitute the genuine readings of your weight. consume breakfast once you have labored out too, and not in the previous, whenever you're weighing your self. different than which you're no longer likely to drop some pounds in one day! so checking your weight after a workout consultation won't teach a drastic substitute in weight.

Answer 4

Your not strange, but you shouldn't weigh yourself so much. Average is once a day, or a few times a week. How to get you from doing this I have no answer, you may need a psychiatrist

Answer 5

No, you just like to know how much you weigh. You don't have to do it all the time, though. Limit yourself to twice a day. I assure you that you won't gain or lose a pound in one minute unless someone chopped off your hand or something.

Answer 6

You are obsessive compulsive. Try to stop before it gets out of hand. If you can't, see a psychologist. A psychologist is not just for crazy folks like most people believe.

Answer 7

Not strange, but it sounds like you could have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (or OCD). Perhaps you should speak to a doctor about it. Good luck!

Answer 8

Definately obsessive compulsive tendencies.

Try to avoid it as much as possible. Because if you keep it up you could end up with an eating disorder. Then that could lead to eventually weighing out your own excrement.

Answer 9

It sounds to me as if you have some Obsessive Compulsive Tendencies. Do you have anything else that you do repeatedly like check to make sure the door is locked, or the lights are off?
