The EatSmart Precision Digital Bathroom Scale is a top of the line bathroom scale that gives you accurate and reliable readings in order to measure your progress towards weight loss. With the LCD display and quick response, this scale will aid in tracking your progress towards weight loss and giving you direction.
However, while the numbers on a scale doesn’t lie, it also does not define you.
Obsession of the numbers on a scale is a problem that many of us are prone to. Tracking your weight on a bathroom scale should be handled with caution. The scale can hold strong power over someone between the physical acts of stepping on the scale multiple times to the constant thought of numbers.
The scale can do some pretty good damage when obsession meets emotions. The power of a scale can toy with emotions while making or breaking a person’s self-esteem. It’s important to remember that a person is far more valued than a number on a scale.
So how do you find the balance of a working a bathroom scale?
Here are a few rules to follow when using a bathroom scale:
1.) Weight yourself no more than once a week
2.) Place the scale out of daily view- In a closet, in a different bathroom.
3.) Set realistic goals of 1-2lbs per week- less you weigh the less you will loss per week
4.) Remember that inches lost are better than numbers dropped
5.) Find value in yourself and not the number
6.) Find motivation in the scale and not self-defeat
There is far more to a weight loss journey than a number on a scale and by following these 6-rules I have found my EatSmart Precision Digital Bathroom Scale to be utilized to it’s fullest potential to track my weight loss goals.

I just found your blog and what a perfect post for me to read today! I was just complaining about the number I see on the scale – I needed this reminder that I’m more than the 3 digits I see when I step on a scale!

Tenecia, you have so much to offer to the world and your value far out weights the numbers that appear on the scale. Keep pushing through each day in making those small choices that will start to move that number down.
I TOTALLY DITCHED MY SCALE because it used to control my mood for the day, now I just go by how I am feeling mentally and physically and how I look in the mirror!

I guess with all my years on this, I don’t let it define me but use it as a guide & with how my clothes fit. I weigh each day first thing in the morn but this is juts me. I know others have issues & yours is a great plan. I like to use both the scale & clothes to tell me the truth!
A scale is definitely like a compass in letting you know if you are heading in the right direction. The mornings are usually the best time to weight myself as well.
Sometimes completely ditching it scale is what it takes. Clothing is a great way to replace it
