Gearing Up For The Holidays - Daily Word For Success! Scale!

Hey Everyone 

I was watching the latest episode of Ruby and had to laugh (even though it was not funny).  She kept moving the brand new SCALE she had bought for "big bucks" and kept getting different readings.  It said she weighed 178 in one place and 418 in another...hello  This is a perfect example of how nuts the scales can make us.  Today's word is SCALE!

While the SCALE is a great tool to help us see our progress, depending on the scale alone will drive you insane    In addition to the SCALE use these other methods to help you lose the weight and keep it off.

**  BODY FAT

**  MEASUREMENTS

**  MIRROR

**  CLOTHES

Here is a great link that gives  you detailed information on these other options:

Kathy,
How strange you should mention this......I spoke with my surgeon just yesterday and he told me "STAY OFF THE SCALE".......I'm one of those who weigh everyday and he told me to "cut it out".   Yes there are other ways to know if you are losing....clothes, mirrors etc. 

Thanks,

Hi Pat,

While the scale is a great source of inspiration it can drive you to drink   I use the scale but when it's giving me a hard time, I reach for plan B, C and D to make sure what I see on the scale is true....

Good luck to you!!!

Take care,
Kathy
