I got into the habit several months ago of weighing myself every day, even if I knew what the scale would likely say. Seeing it on the scale really does help me avoid the self-deceit that is so easy.
Totally agree.
This may sound a bit juvenile, but I use the WiiFit to keep that habit. I've built it into my morning routine...
Have a cup of coffee... spray and feed our parrots... put the WiiFit on...
do the 'Body Test' which does a BMI and weight and puts the results on a graph... then do a ten minute step exercise ( which burns about 40Cal) and which I also use to count the 360 rotations of a Chi massage and saves me losing count which I always do otherwise
That takes a total of about 15 minutes and means that ever morning I see what has happened. It drives me nuts but if the weight goes up by more than 1lb in 24 hours the stupid machine asks why...did I eat to much? etc!
Concentrates the mind wonderfully, I do anything to avoid those stupid questions!!
