The best thing that you could do for yourself when trying to lose weight is to get rid of your bathroom scale. The bathroom scale could make you self-sabotage your weight loss in many ways. If you are working really hard to get in shape, step on the scale, and don’t see results, it could be very discouraging. Even if you step on the scale and see you lost weight it could make you want to celebrate with some cake or cookies.
Key Takeaways:
- The bathroom scale can hinder people’s attempts to lose weight.
- Seeing the number on the scale stay the same, increase, or even decrease can be disheartening and make you less likely to work to lose weight.
- Instead, focus on how good you feel when you’re on track and use that to keep yourself motivated.
“When and how getting on the scale fuels self-sabotage varies from person to person, but for most folks who struggle with self-sabotage, one thing is clear: Seeing what you weigh when you’re trying to weigh less all but ensures that you’ll weigh more.”
