THE SCALE- The scale is what a dieter lives by. It's their tool. It's what makes them have a good day, or a bad day. I know that because that's what it does to me. I try not to look at my scale too much, but I always find myself in the bathroom. Weight can fluxuate, day by day, and for most girls, week by week. You have may actually lost weight, but it won't show up if your bloated, gained muscle, or have dranked a ton more water than usual. If you have to weigh yourself everyday, do it in the morning, with little, or nothing on, to get a correct reading. Digital scales are more accurate than needle point scales. I recommend to keep track of weight, weigh yourself only once every week, or even every 2, that way the surprise of a missing couple pounds will be a really good motivator. Remember, don't let your weight judge the way you feel about yourself. Someone will not notice if you've gained 3 1/2 pounds, but they will notice when you have lost to your goal weight and you will walk with more confidence and assurance. Good luck!
