Ugh....that word makes me shiver. Scale. So many of us base our worth on the number that shows up on the scale each morning. For me, my mood is often a reflection of the number that I saw during my previous scale confessional. After all, the scale doesn't lie, you know. Or does it? Sure, the scale might tell us exactly what we weigh, but it doesn't show the victories that we have had over the course of the day. It doesn't show that fact that you've been killing yourself in the gym and have a brand new set of sexy, toned curves to show off.
I've always been a person who weighs myself every single day....if not twice a day. Lately, I've had a mix of ups and downs. One day I will be completely stoked about the progress I see. That night, I will work out and eat right and then the next day, the scale will go up again. For this reason, I'm going to stop with the scale obsession and start weighing myself only once or twice a week instead.
If you're on the frequent weighing program, here are a few things I would suggest:
1. Try weighing yourself less often.
2. Weigh yourself at the same time of day on the days that you weigh in.
3. Weigh yourself in the buff.
4. Remind yourself that you are MORE than a number on a scale!
