Daily Fit Tip: Don't avoid the scale

Categories: Daily Fit Tip

Your scale -- do you love it or hate it? How you answer that question could be the deciding factor in whether or not you can lose weight.

Avoiding the scale means you don't have to face the facts -- or does it? Just because you don't know exactly how many pounds you've gained, doesn't mean you didn't gain any. As this article from Prevention Magazine points out, you need to be honest with yourself. Yes, it might hurt a little to see those numbers, but ultimately, this will motivate you.

But don't get too obsessed. Weighing yourself once a month or once a week is normal -- weighing yourself several times a day is not.
