Weighing in every day does something else for me—it takes the sting out of weighing myself, because the number on the screen is never a huge difference from what it was the day before. I open my blog each day with my weight, and nine out of ten times, between the time I weigh myself and the time I post my blog, I’ve forgotten what I weigh and need to look it up on my Fitbit dashboard, where my wifi scale logs and graphs it for me. The dips and spikes of normal weight fluctuations do not bother me anymore. Knowing roughly what to expect on the scale makes me less likely to postpone a doctor’s appointment because I don’t want to confront my weight, which is one of the most common reasons women give for not going to the doctor.
