Don’t Overdo It!
A surefire way to get overly concerned with your weight is to weigh yourself too

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.
Regardless of your weighing habits, it’s important that you’re consistent.
Here are 5 rules for effectively monitoring your weight – weigh yourself:

three times more weight in a Weight Watchers program than they do on
their own*.
