Ever week, on Saturday morning I wake up, go to the bathroom and then meet the monster of the day: the weigh scale. Since starting my weight loss drive I have been dreading/anticipating the moment that I step on the sale and view my progress. I dread it because I am scared that I will see little to no progress. I anticipate it because I want to see the progress I have made. Imagine what happens to your self esteem and commitment if you don't see any progress for one or two weeks or even longer. That was the problem that I faced.
No progress.
None.
Even worse, it appeared as if I had actually gained half a pound. I was eating only 2000 calories a day, over 1000 calroeis below TDEE. I should have lost four pounds. I was depressed. I was feeling that all of my effort was going to waste. I was confused as to why the numbers on the weigh scale were flickering. Flickering? What the heck? Yes, I have a weigh scale which is digital. A weigh scale that requires batteries.
Batteries.
I went downstairs, get some fresh batteries, installed them in the weigh scale and BAM, instant weight loss. I was happy. I was relieved. I was amazed at how such a simple thing, replacing the batteries in the weigh scale, could have such a huge impact on my self esteem. Remember, check the batteries if you have a digital weigh scale. It is so important.
