I understand your sentiment. When I got treated for my anxiety initially,
one of the first things I did was to ditch my HRM. I went without it for
like 2 months. It was quite freeing. Just to ride and not worry about it.
However, I've been on a plateau for like 3 years now. As many of you will
remember I went from over 400 lbs. to as low as 238lbs. Slowly over 4
years I've crept back up to 270. Not a happy situation for me. So I began
using the HRM again in order to try to ensure I was working out in the
zone and thus hopefully lose weight. It's just become habit again, though.
I'm not losing weight and can't figure out why. It really sucks.

You're probably right.
