I've been meaning to ask....

Does anyone else suck in their stomach when they weigh themselves? For some reason, I can't stop myself from doing this, even though I KNOW that it doesn't help in any way! And every time I tell myself I'm being stupid. Maybe it's just because I have to look past my stomach to see the weight and sucking it in just looks better.

Well, I HAVE to suck in my stomach... otherwise I can't see the numbers for the bulge. Just kidding. I do various "tricks" to make me skinnier when I weigh myself - sucking in my stomach seems to be logical, but I do more of thinking myself thin, or holding my weigh higher up (like that is possible!).

I don't suck it in -- I squish it in! Sucking just doesn't do a lot of good for me -- it still hangs dow low. If I squish it I can hide it. I usually weigh myself in my nightgown, too, so I don't have to LOOK at myself while I'm busy being appalled at the number, and I can tell myself that it's not really *that* awful because I'd lose some weight if I took the nightgown off. Hee hee!

I don't suck in. I checked for a few days. But I am different than you guys--my weight is more my butt and legs than my belly. Don't get me wrong--I've got one, it just isn't my primary fat store ;)
