9. Overdosing on self-weighing

Even though daily self-weighing won’t actually prevent you from losing weight, it can be incredibly frustrating. It’s crucial to keep in mind that losing weight successfully and healthfully takes time. The actual number on the scales might vary day to day depending on a variety of factors, such as the menstrual cycle or building muscle through strength training. When the scales don’t show you the results you want to see, you can become dejected and binge eat, which could seriously hinder your efforts to lose weight.Instead, try measuring your waist, hips, and thighs using a tape measure once each week to monitor your progress. If you must weigh yourself to maintain your motivation, do so no more frequently than once per week or even once every two weeks.
