Shunning the EVIL bathroom weight scale

Shun the Evil Scale Did you know that bathroom scales are perfect items for controlled demolition?

Yes indeed, I’m serious. ‘Matter of fact, when I well into my weight loss journey, I would have joyfully flung my scale out the Empire State Building simply to test gravity; that was about the only use I could image!

Why is this, I hear you ask?

Because weight loss scales are EEEEEEVIL!

Yes indeed, weight loss bathroom scales are the agonizing invention of the very pits of sulfurous doom!

Think about it.

You’re more than fat, right? Your body has muscles and bones, right?

Well, scales don’t care about that! They’ll tell you just how much you weigh, water weight and all! Heck, I could drink a gallon of water and immediately INCREASE my weight 2.2 pounds…but after it happily departs my body, those 2.2 pounds will be as though they never existed.

But…if I had weighed myself after drinking, just think how depressed I’d be!

SCALES ARE EVIL. SCALES ARE MORE devastating to weight loss than 73 pounds of utterly delectable white chocolate covered macadamia nuts!

And I’m not the only person who has come to this rather common-sense observation. Check out these postings:

And if that wasn’t bad enough, your weight varies thru the day! You weight less when you wake up in the morning, more after you’ve eaten lunch, and (get this!) you could even *gain weight* from strength training/weight lifting but still *look* thinner.

All together now….CALGON, TAKE ME AWAY!

In other words,

Now, that doesn’t mean I think you shouldn’t keep track of your weight loss!

But instead of weighing pounds, measure inches!

Get a nice old-fashioned tape measure and measure your chest, your waist and your hips (and your biceps and your thighs and your….if you’re into fitness as well)…and keep track of *that*. Measure, say, once a week! Those kind of measurements never lie.

What about you? Do you crave the weight scale? Is it depressing your diet and making you feel, why even bother? If so, just remember this point - you deserve the very best in weight loss success - don’t sabotage your new lifestyle change by listening to a bathroom scale that blatantly lies.

Enjoy,
