The number of scales and the daily weighing have all occupied us especially when we follow a balanced diet plan for weight loss.
There are two categories of people.
The first category includes people who weigh themselves systematically and daily, at the same time, and have made weighing almost their daily “routine”. Of course, this presupposes that if the scales show a little more for a day or a week, it will not affect them much psychologically, and instead they will pay attention to their diet in the next period, without panic or exhausting diets.
This, in fact, is a way that leads most people to maintain a healthy body weight and avoid large weight fluctuations. But it is not for everyone!
In the second category, people who just hear the word “scales” and everything related to it, are stressed and feel a lot of pressure, which is often associated with poor body image, low self-esteem and self-esteem. Of course, in this case, when you understand that your scales cause such “stress”, it is not appropriate to weigh yourself every day.
What you can do is find other ways to see the difference and progress in his body. Such cases are the measurement with a tape measure, the feeling in your clothes and your image in the mirror. Many times it is enough to understand if your weight is the same or has changed and without even causing you the anxiety of “what number will the scales show again”.
Following a diet plan can tempt you to weigh yourself on a daily basis and it makes perfect sense, but I would suggest you reconsider, especially if you belong to the second category, where the number of scales worries you.
There is no reason to weigh yourself more than once a week
With daily water fluctuations, body weight can change dramatically on a daily basis. But weighing yourself, on a weekly basis in the same conditions, that is, on your own scales, at the same time and ideally fasting in the morning, will give you a more accurate picture. The best time to weigh yourself is in the morning, because your body has enough time to assimilate and process food during the night, the “overnight fast”.
While, do not forget that it is “okay” to avoid the scales, especially if it creates stress! Did you try it and all it did was create unnecessary stress for you? Did the presence of your scales trigger negative emotions around your image? Then avoid her! Sometimes the best measure is progress, including finding out that the scales are not for you.
In any case, the advice of experts is to follow a diet plan that will become your way of life and be consistent with it. Whatever category you belong to in terms of regular weighing, consistency, perseverance and patience will give you the results you desire.
And remember… no scale number defines you!
