In an effort to lose weight, some people choose to avoid the
scale and for them that could be a good thing. If jumping on the scale causes
you to feel anxious, discouraged or depressed and those feelings lead you to
overeat or abandon your healthy eating plan, they stay away from the scale. But
a study reported in the journal Obesity (and
discussed in the July 2015 issue of Oxygen magazine www.oxygenmag.com) stated that the practice
of self-weighing can be productive. After reviewing 17 studies done over the
course of 25 years, the researchers concluded that weighing oneself can
actually help with weight loss. So, if you can make you scale a friend and use it
as tool, hop on. If not, don’t. Toss it out and use your clothes to tell you
how you are doing.
