Dangers
of Scales - Weight Scale
A Full Scale War
How The Scale Can Be Either Friend
or Foe in the Battle Against the Bulge.
It happens every morning when you
mosey out of bed, somewhere between the time you take
off that robe and the instant you step into the shower.
For others, it happens immediately after a workout,
as soon as you peel off those sweaty clothes and stand
aimlessly in your birthday suit.
Then, the big moment arrives. The excitement, the tension,
it all forms a giant knot in your throat. This experience
is a lot like playing the roulette wheel and you know
you have plenty riding on this one. Hence, the numbers
that come up can spree a variety of reactions.
You step onto the scale in your bathroom and peek through
your fingers at the fate staring back at you.
To some, you jump up and down like you just hit the
jackpot. Others shriek as if they'd just crapped out.
Well, the scale is indeed a useful tool to monitor your
weight-loss developments. What other method is there
to track specifically how much you've progressed in
your endeavors to lose weight?
Yet, the scale can be like a lousy personal trainer.
It can be giving you bad information. In other words,
do not become too dependent on this devilish, little
device sitting on your bathroom floor. Here are two
reasons why:
- Scales are not perfect. At any
given moment, it can go from being your best friend
to your worst enemy. If the scale isn't tipping your
way, it can throw your entire mental state off the
mark. Scales can often deceive you into thinking you're
heavier, or lighter, than you actually are. In more
case, it's the latter. And by thinking that you're
that far ahead of the game, the only one you'll be
fooling is yourself.
Instead, try going by how your clothes fit on your
body or how you feel internally than relying on some
imperfect machine. Take a picture of yourself at the
beginning of the month and then at the end of the
month to evaluate the progress. Obsession with the
scale is not unlike other fixations, it's certainly
not healthy.
- Scales tend to dictate. Too many
people are consumed with the numbers on the scale.
unlike the scenario of a baseball player who is completely
engrossed in his batters' average. The average is
just a number. He should be more concerned with winning
the game.
The same goes with the battle against weight loss.
The goal should never be a number. If you become too
concerned with reaching a specific number, by a certain
time, it can lead to starvation, bulimia, malnutrition,
many conditions that are not beneficial to your body
or you're health.
Remember, the best scale you can have is your mind.
If it's telling you that the unwanted fat is disappearing
from your figure like a dress on prom night, chances
are that you're right.
