Thank you all so much for your replies. It is interesting to know what others feel comfortable about.

My weight to me is a very personal thing. I know how much I weigh, I think about that each and every day so I feel that I dont need the pressure of my family and DP knowing it. I wonder why someone close to me feels the need to see me weigh in, like I am lying to them about the number I tell them. (Well sometimes it might be a couple of kilos off) but I know the truth and thats whats important.

I have done WW. Havent been for the last month as I just cant afford it at the moment and I had no problem weighing in there. They are very private about it so even if there are people directly behind you in the line, they will have no idea about your number.

What has bothered me lately and why I wanted to start this thread, is because over the last couple of months, DP has tried to coax me into the bathroom to weigh me! I have told him what I weigh, so I dont know why I need to do that in front of me.

I am already not happy with my weight and I really dont fancy someone judging me in the at of weighing me. Does that make sense?

I told him that I dont need to get on the scales in front of him as I know what I weigh, maybe its just the principle of the while thing. I have told you, so why do I have to show you kind of thing?

Anyway I am rambling.


FWIW some of what you girls have been through int he past with weighing in is absolutely shocking. No wonder people have bad body images. Whether they are a slender or curvy.
