Got the idea from member @EchoPale , who mentioned weighing in stone and kilograms. I am a product of public schools and really only understand pounds in a way that is real to me, though I do use grams for cooking and making soap and such.
I tend to "stick" at 5's and 0's on the scale in pounds. It's purely psychological; I identify those as milestone weights, and I get all hyped up to break down to the next 5 set, and then end up bouncing up and down on it and making myself crazy, AND self sabotaging by eating a little too much to easily break the next set. This happened at 170, 165, 160, 155, etc.
I switched my scale to kg at 66.5 kg. I am now 65.2kg. I have no idea what that is in pounds, and I will thank you not to tell me. I am no longer driving myself crazy with certain numbers in mind, because none of these numbers mean anything to me except that I know my goal is 56.7 kg (125 lbs, which would put me smack in the middle of healthy BMI.)
