Weight Loss - How Often Should You Weigh Yourself?

I confess i am totally weight obsessed at times. I’m an all or nothing type of girl.

Every morning the first thing i do is get on those dreaded scales. Even though i calculate my weeks weight loss on a Monday morning.

I think being this obsessed has it’s pro’s and con’s. If i weigh myself and i see i have lost a pound since the previous day i am delighted and totally motivated, if i gain a pound i get my ass into gear. Though i think many people could find this a real de-motivator if that’s the case don’t weigh yourself this regularly.

However it is important to get on with the rest of your life and not let your weight become all you think about.

Remember all the other things that make you great and that interest you.

Also it’s perfectly normal for your weight to fluctuate on a daily basis for many different reasons.

Most people seem to recommend weighing your self once a week on the same day.

As for me despite this advice i’ll keep weighing myself on a daily basis because it works for me.
