How much do you monitor your weight? Do you weigh yourself weekly? Daily? More than once a day?
I don't even own a scale and have no desire to obsess over the number that represents my weight. I'd prefer to monitor my weight loss by the way my clothes fit and the way my clothing size changes. Is this a reasonable alternative?
I also joined a gym right around the holidays and was weighed by a trainer then. So I know my starting weight. I plan on seeing my trainer again when I feel I'm ready (hopefully within a month or two) and will be weighed again then and see the progress (if any) I've made.
What's the advantage of weighing yourself regularly (weekly or more often)? Is it supposed to be motivating?
I'm afraid of obsessing over my weight and becoming frustrated or depressed with the constant reminder of that number staring back at me. Does anyone else out there feel this way?
