Listen up, please! If you want to have a happier life, you have to start with good habits in the morning and I am going to challenge you to take this on. If there's one thing I can tell you to stop doing in the morning (afternoon, night or whenever you do it), it is to stop weighing yourself.
Tell me, how do you usually feel after you get off that scale? Are you happy or does it bring you down a little? What is the point of doing it? If the scale makes you sad, you do not have to weigh yourself. Weight is not the biggest factor in health so why do we take it as it is. Being happy with yourself is much more important.
So, I am going to challenge you to put that scale away! You are so much more than a number!
5 reason to stop weighing yourself
It can trigger low self-esteem. Why set your day off wrong? We let the scale tell us our worth. You are worth more than that number.
It's not accurate. Our weight can fluctuate up to 10 pounds in a single day depending on different factors. This does not represent how much weight loss you have.
Scale does not determine your health. Just because you gain weight, does not mean you are unhealthy and weight loss does not mean you are healthy. Your weight is not a good factor of health .
The scale doesn't show your real results. It is not a great indicator of anything. When you focus on the scale, you miss out on other results, like better sleep, more energy, less pain and more self-confidence.
It keeps you in the diet mindset. When you are focusing on losing weight, you are not focusing on all factors of health. You focus on restriction.
If you want to learn more about the practices I teach, sign up for a call with me. I want you to be happy and healthy so let's ditch that scale.
Have a good week!
Let's have some fun!
