Duke Diet - Get Your Evaluation


A scale is a must-have for every dieter.

Today’s hi-tech scales can give you more information relevant to your weight loss aside from your current weight. It can track water weight, body fat percentage and even the changes in your weekly weight.

Definitely pretty cool, if you ask me …..

(This is where I say, “wow, it would be cool if I actually owned one of those”.)

After all these years in weight loss land, I still had yet to purchase one of my own. Considering that I am so gungho about losing weight, it’s hard to believe that a scale wasn’t the first thing I purchased four years ago when I started my program.

My last weigh-in at the gym a couple of weeks ago had me thinking that I need something much more easy to use. A scale that preferably displays my weight in digital numbers that I can use in the privacy of my own home so I can weigh myself sans clothing.

I also wanted one that I didn’t have to read a whole how-to manual in order to make it work! How did a scale get so complicated? I’m sure one of these days someone will end up inventing a scale that will post your current weight loss automatically on social internet sites like Facebook.

I decided on purchasing a Conair Precision Weight Watchers Scale. It’s simple, precise, and gets to the point - my weight.

It’s my newest best friend. I weigh myself when I wake up. I weigh myself before workouts. I weigh myself before I eat …. before I go to sleep …. before I take a shower …. In fact, I don’t do anything else without weighing myself first.

I know I’m beginning to have serious dependency issues with my scale.

Consulting the manual for any tidbits on how to get out of this vicious cycle of weighing myself ten times a day, of course it has to say “DON’T OVERDUE IT” in big bold letters.

Then, it proceeds to tell me: “A surefire way to get overly concerned with your weight is to weigh yourself too often. Weigh yourself no more than once a week when you are dieting. Though it’s hard to stick to this pattern, it’s the best way to prevent unnecessary concern with normal weight fluctuations, which are unrelated to your weight-loss efforts.”

Words of wisdom that all dieters should listen to.

I’ve learned a valuable lesson from this. In order to effectively monitor my weight, I will need to weigh myself once a week only, on the same day of the week at the same time of day. I will need to be consistent with that I wear during the weigh in and always use the same scale.

So, wish me luck as I go through the withdrawal process ….

If you don’t have your own scale yet, I’ve put together a collection of scales that are available that can help you in your goal to ultimate weight loss.
