Stress and weight loss/weight gain: Worry about what you wear. I meet so many people who are obsessed with the scale. Bathroom scale readings rule their day. Scale numbers self confidence, self control and self image. Good or bad, they worship and fear the scale.
Quite often, I recommend ditching the scale entirely for awhile. Check out your closet for a great outfit that you’d love to wear but can’t quite get into. Put it out where you can see it, and put the scale where you can’t. Measure your progress using the outfit. Nothing revolutionary or new with this concept, yet somehow it frees people in a way that’s remarkable. I hear myself saying, “you don’t wear a scale out in public, so why not measure yourself using something that you care about?”.
