Do you find yourself weighing yourself five times a day or maybe even every hour? Obsessing over the number staring back at you, and becoming a slave to the scale? via ObesityHelp Sure, its tempting to weigh yourself frequently and exciting to see the scale drop quickly in the months after bariatric surgery, however its also easy to slip into a pattern of compulsivity. Weight can fluctuate as much as 2-4 pounds throughout the day, so realize its best to weigh yourself once a week with no clothes on to keep an accurate weight measurement. Also, scales vary greatly, so be consistent with the scale you do use for your weekly weigh in. Its also good to realize that daily weighing can cause negative emotional reactions that can trigger unhealthy eating behaviors, anxiety, and even depression. Be mindful that the scale is not your only measure of success, its truly about how much healthier you are and the resolution of co-morbid conditions that were taking time off of your life. #weighin #scales #stress #mindfulness #healthfirst
