Wacky (But it Works) Wednesday: A Scale with No Numbers!: SELF.com


As a girl with a quick metabolism, I've basically weighed the same since I hit puberty. As you may know from my introductory blog (hooray!), it wasn't until this past year that I really dug my teeth into fitness. One day, after about a month of weight training, I stepped on the scale and stared down at the number--surely I must have lost weight; I looked so much thinner! Nope. I had gained weight. 7 pounds of weight! Suddenly, my newfound confidence flew out the window. I knew that I wasn't fat, and knew that I had gained weight because of muscle gain, but I instantly became fixated on my weight.

My point is this, SELFy Fitness readers: stepping on a scale can be really discouraging. We all know this. For whatever reason, we let those 3 numbers completely skew our self-image. And yet still, we are drawn to the scale like moths to a flame! The solution? Switch out your regular scale for the Quantum Scale!

The Quantum Scale doesn't display your weight, it simply tracks your progress. Each scale is an individual tool, so after programming it on day one, you'll only know if you've gained or lost pounds. Just think about how much better your day will begin when instead of facing your 3-number weight, you're greeted with the fact that you've lost a few pounds. And hey, even if you've gained a few pounds, it'll be much easier to digest that knowledge than being faced with your newly inflated 3-number weight!
