\n<\/a>Some say \u201cBe SURE to weigh every single day. The constant feedback will keep you on track and help you to be mindful about your eating.\u201d<\/p>\nOn the other end of the spectrum you have the folks who say to throw away your scales.\u00a0 They contend that the scale is not the best measure of your progress, anyway, and it can make you crazy.<\/p>\n
And there are all the variations in-between.\u00a0 Like weigh only once a week.\u00a0 Weigh only once a month, etc.<\/p>\n
So which is best?\u00a0 Whatever works for YOU.\u00a0 Every one of us is different. \u00a0God didn\u2019t make us with a cookie-cutter.\u00a0 I\u2019m personally a feedback junkie.\u00a0 I like to know results as soon as they happen.\u00a0 Weighing every day makes me content and keeps me on track. \u00a0 And the time I gave away my scales I gained ten pounds.<\/p>\n
But I will agree that it isn\u2019t the best measure. The tape measure is better and the way you feel is best of all.<\/p>\n
If the scale has become a god to you, either making you feel blessed or punished depending on the number — get rid of it!\u00a0 If you find yourself oppressed and confused by the small ups and downs, don\u2019t weigh yourself so often.<\/p>\n
Do what works for you, no matter what expert tells you differently!<\/p>\n
Eating to live and living for Christ,<\/p>\n
