5. Putting too much “weight” on the scale. Hanging all your feelings of success on the numbers on the scale can be a diet disaster. You should only weigh yourself once a week, says Gail Curtis, assistant professor at the Wake Forest University Health Sciences department of physician assistant studies in Winston-Salem, N.C. Curtis recommends tracking other short-term health goals, such as eating more veggies, walking daily, or drinking water instead of soda, that will give you a sense of accomplishment.
Comment: This is absolutely true! I used to weigh every morning. I would make sure I did this as soon as I got out of the shower so I won't even have the weight of my clothes. Stupid thing to do. I now weigh once a week, fully clothed. I also move my scales around. I've found that they sometimes get 'stuck' on certain readings and keep showing the same each time.
