I also think I got better at weight loss when i accepted that "it's supposed to suck". It takes a very conscious effort to lose weight, or at least to kick-start my body into going into fat loss mode, and seeing the poundage loss gets me through that. It also takes ongoing effort not to eat for maintenance - because the food is there - and knowing that I'm still making progress helps. I agree with Lisa, that the scale keeps me accountable.

As a lifelong 'skinny', it's been a real battle to keep those pounds from piling up in my fifties. My method is to hit the bathroom every morning, do first things first and then step on the scale. I'm reminded all day that yes, that soda or cookie or candy bar is really going to get me 'in the end'. This is just proof, once again, that you do have to find your own best tools to achieve your goals. *sigh* I always seem to be swimming against the current trend.

I think scales are, for the most point, poison. Used as a tool on an occasional basis they can be helpful but most people jump on them daily or multiple times each day and then allow the digits on the screen to dictate their mood for the day. I hope you stand firm on your new approach. Good luck. Good for you. I think scales are, for the most point, poison.
