Does weight really matter?

From the Start Micah kept telling me not to weigh myself and that weight doesn't matter.  I never understood that, because to me my weight has always reflected how I looked.

After about 4 months of working out and dieting, I had lost 25ish pounds and alsmot 4 inches off of my waist.  I went on leave and to training for 5 weeks, and in that 5 weeks I wasn't working out that much or dieting correctly.  I only put on about 10 pounds, but my waist probably grew 2-3 inches.  And I just felt like a huge waste when I looked in the mirror.  Before the 5 weeks I could see ribs and make out 2 abs, now none of that.  Even though I only put on 10 pounds, and have already lost a few of those pounds from a few days of dieting, I still feel huge.

What Micah had me do, since I didn't understand the why weight didn't matter.  He had me weigh myself and the beginning of the diet and then wait two weeks to weigh myself again.  After two weeks I was surprised at how much weight I had lost.  Then I was constantly checking to see how much I lost, and people at work kept asking how much I lost, so I always checked.

I don't feel good about how I look, but I now have motivation to lose the inches again.  I want to throw away my scale, but I don't think my wife would approve.

I don't expect people to understand why weight doesn't matter, but maybe this will give some insight.
