Stepping onto the scales!

How often do you weigh yourself? People who are worried about their weight (whether or not they are trying to control their eating) weigh themselves lots. They get on the scales in the morning at home, at work, when they get back home and again before they go to bed. Each weigh-in is another opportunity to feel bad and get a dose of anxiety.

Getting on the scales won't make you thin but it could make you depressed. If you are a scale-junkie, then you will know that your weight varies throughout the day not just over a month.

Use the scales to check for trends. To do this, a weekly weigh-in is enough. Are you remaining the same weight, putting weight on or losing it. Then take action. Taking your waist measurement helps you to check on the loss of fat stores. Do that once a week too.
