But I don't think I couldn't weigh myself for 5 years LOL.

lol...
Yeah.. I use to feel the same way.
What really drove it home for me though was my daughter.
Watching her day after day... going through the control/relapse.... letting the scale dictate what kind of a day she was gonna have. Letting the scale dictate what she was going to eat that day... and it was ususally on the detrimental to her side.
And she has never been probably more than 5-10 lbs over at any given point in her 19 years.
She was in the beginning stages of food obsession... and I had to intervene.
So... sledge hammer to the old scale.
Very cathartic.. ;o)
Even the food addict programs suggest one weights at least once a month... to keep oneself out of denial... but... even that was to much for me...
My daughter might weigh herself once a year now. Plus... she goes to a gym regularily cause she got tired of me cranking on her about the benefits of exercise as well...lol
She also use to rant to me about her body shape...and I finally had to tell her to stowe it cause she was triggering me all over the place. lol
I just really needed her to be aware of how much food obsession can destroy a life. And most people minimize the impact of this addiction wayyyyy to much.
