Avoiding the Scale

I want to be able to have double protected sex so I’ve talked to my mom about getting back on birth control. She seems to be really understanding and says that she won’t judge me because of what she’s been through.

I’m kinda scared, though. I used to be OBSESSED with the scale. And unfortunately, I can’t throw them out because they’re my mom’s. We have two. And we used to weigh ourselves on both to get accurate results, at least twice a day. She still does but I don’t. I’ve been trying to build a better relationship with my mindset and body.

I know there is not direct weight gain whenon birth control, as long as you exercise and watch your diet. I do both of those things and I’m not restrictive anymore. I’m just scared that I’ll have a shitty self image day and weigh myself and get back into the vicious cycle of starvation, binging, over exercising. I’m interested in the Skyla IUD.

Any advice??
