Weighing yourself regularly is a wonderful way to stay aware of any significant weight fluctuations. 1 , when done too often, this habit can sometimes hurt more  than it 2 .
As for me, weighing myself every day caused me to shift my focus from being generally healthy and physically active to focusing    3    on the scale. That was bad to my overall fitness goals. I had gained weight in the form of muscle mass, but thinking only of 4 the number on the scale, I altered my training program. That conflicted with how I needed to train to 5 my goals.
I also found weighing myself daily did not provide an accurate    6 of the    hard work and progress I was making in the gym. It takes about three weeks to a month to notice significant changes in weight 7 altering your training program.  The most 8 changes will be observed in skill level, strength and inches l
ost.
For these 9 , I stopped weighing myself every day and switched to    a bimonthly weighing schedule 10 . Since weight loss is not my goal, it is less  important for me  to  11  my  weight  each  week. Weighing  every other  week allows me to observe and 12 any significant weight changes. That tells me whether I need to 13 my training program.
I also use my bimonthly weigh-in    14    to get information about my nutrition
as well. If my training intensity remains the same, but I’m constantly15 and  dropping weight, this is a 16 that I need to increase my daily caloric intake.
The 17 to stop weighing myself every day has done wonders for my
overall health, fitness and well-being. I am experiencing increased zeal for working out since I no longer carry the burden of a 18 morning weigh-in. I’ve also  experienced greater success in achieving my specific fitness goals, 19 I’m training according to those goals, instead of numbers on a scale.
Rather than  20  over the scale, turn  your focus to how  you look, feel, how  your clothes fit and your

Unlike so-called basic emotions such as sadness, fear, and anger, guilt emerges a
growing grasp of social and moral norms.

researchers generally regard so-called moral guilt, in the right amount, to be a good
thing: A child who claims responsibility for knocking over a tower and tries to rebuild
it is engaging in behavior that’s not only reparative but also prosocial.
In the popular imagination, of course, guilt still gets a bad rap. It evokes Freud
ideas and religious hang-ups. More important, guilt is deeply uncomfortable—it’s the emotional equivalent of wearing a jacket weighted with stones. Who would inflict it
upon a child? Yet this understanding is outdated. “There has been a kind of revival or

feelings that
this revival is part of a larger recognition that emotions aren’t binary—may be advantageous in one context may be harmful in another. Jealousy and anger,
for example, may have evolved to alert us to important inequalities. Too much
happiness (think mania) can be destructive.
And guilt, by prompting us to think more deeply about our goodness, can
encourage humans to atone for errors and fix relationships. Guilt, in other words, can
help hold a cooperative species together. It is a kind of social glue.
Viewed in this light, guilt is an opportunity. Work by Tina Malti, a psychology
professor at the University of Toronto, suggests that guilt may compensate f or an
emotional deficiency. In a number of studies, Malti and others have shown that guilt
and sympathy (and its close cousin empathy) may represent different pathways to
cooperation and sharing. Some kids who are low in sympathy may make up for that
shortfall by experiencing more guilt, which can rein in their nastier impulses. And
vice versa: High sympathy can substitute for low guilt.
In a 2014 study, for example, Malti and a colleague looked at 244 children, ages
self-observations, they
4, 8, and 12. Using caregiver assessments and the children’s
overall sympathy level and his or her tendency to feel negative
rated each child’s
emotions (like guilt and sadness) after moral transgressions. Then the kids were
handed stickers and chocolate coins, and given a chance to share them with an
anonymous child. For the low-sympathy kids, how much they shared appeared to turn
on how inclined they were to feel guilty. The guilt-prone ones shared more, even
though they hadn’t magically become more sympathetic to the other child’s deprivation.
“That’s good news,” Malti says. “We can be prosocial because of our empathetic proclivity, or because we caused harm and we feel regret.”
