I was thinking this time of year is stressful for a lot of people in terms of weight loss and a perfect gift to yourself would be (if you can handle it) to put the scale away. While that's really hard for a lot of people to successfully do, the seasonally appropriate way to put the scale ways to gift wrap it to yourself .




Maybe first toss the old batteries - probably need new ones to recalibrate it and gift wrap those too, then gift wrap the scale to open it the appropriate time .




You can give yourself the gift of being stressed free about constantly weighing yourself during this time if it causes you anxiety, when you should be really focusing on living life and spending time with your family and friends. If it doesn't this post is not for you.




An even bigger gift is when you open the scale you can use the number that reads as your new beginning weight (whether you open it in the New Year's or just after the holiday) and not worry about the ups and downs or the Stalls. Still track and measure foods and hydrate. Run the idea past your teams as usual.




Let me know what y'all think!




Safe Journey 🎈


It is hard to regard a weight scale as a fitting gift. When I have owned them , they always had a nasty smirk and ridiculed me. Perhaps if I invested in a digital one its attitude toward me would be better. Ah we shall see, but at this point I am satisfied to be weighed at doctors offices even if it turns out to be only monthly !📚

I actually put my scale in the trunk of my car Saturday morning and will take it out Thursday night to weigh myself Friday morning and then put it back in the trunk when I go out to leave for work.

That... is... genius.

So Wanda247, are you still on the same plan where the scale is invited in once a week? Like🐭 🐺I too think you have a perfect solution!
