This blog post might get a bit of heat because there is a lot of negativity around weighing yourself in general and even more so around daily weighing.
What I want to address is whether it’s a good or bad thing for you (or your clients) to weigh yourself every day by looking at it from a psychological perspective.
As a mindset expert with a PhD in psychology, I have thoughts around this that are grounded in research as well as personal and client experience.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you should weigh yourself every day, or if you coach clients who are struggling with scale anxiety, this post will help you navigate the mental health effects of daily weigh-ins and what the research actually says.
