To weight with courage or...with a heavy heart? Bathroom scales in action

Get to the scale!

Weight control is associated with stress. Usually, it evokes negative feelings and even anxiety! Before putting your foot on the scales, a person first wonders how much time (and pounds) has passed since the last weighing, and a moment later - do they really want to know...?

On the other side of the scale (for balance!), there are those who do not care at all about the result of weighing. Extra pounds? Not an issue. Weight loss? It's nothing! Actually, bathroom scales are only used for curiosity.

Here are the four basic approaches to the weighing matter, which can sometimes be heavy and at other times light as a feather!

Weight of the arguments

A convenient approach that frees your head from the fear of putting on weight. This type with stoic calmness faces with the result shown by the scale. Regardless of the results, he can perfectly explain to himself the reason for it, which is especially useful in growing tendency. Too much water in the body; bad timing, just after a meal; batteries running out; broken mechanism. In fact, the reason is not important. It is important to be deeply convinced of it!

Lightweight case

It's an approach characteristic of a person living with his or her weight in symbiosis. They do not avoid it, never hold a grudge against it, never try to throw the responsibility on it - an almost perfect relationship. If they accidentally stand on the scale, they are willing to look at the result, but what for, if they do not remember the last measurement? It is the perfect environment for a bathroom scale! It is not disturbed or used very often. Neither a hail of curses, nor salty tears flow down on it. Regardless of the result it displays, a warm corner under the bathtub or bathroom cupboard waits for it. It is true, sometimes it may be told it has broken down - especially if it shows a dizzying number of pounds - fortunately for it, there are no consequences for it! 

A scale lover

This type can't live without a bathroom scale. But he is not faithful to one model - he changes them as often as he changes gloves. He keeps an eye on the latest developments in the bathroom furnishing industry to become a buyer of another modern scale. This type started out modestly, with a mechanical scale with an anti-slip mat. Then he decided on a digital scale which, in addition to a silicone coating, also had rubber feet to stabilize the device on slippery tiles. However, all the brakes came off when the scale lover heard about devices that analyze the body structure: they measure fat, muscle and bone tissue, check the body's hydration, calculate the BMI and suggest the optimal daily calorie intake. So far, the scale lover is satisfied, but who knows what he does when the next modern bathroom scales appear on the market?

Get out of sight!

This type gets shivers just from the sight of any weight measuring device. Bathroom scale protruding sinisterly from underneath the bathtub can be his nightmare. Beware - contrary to appearances, it is not only women belonging to this group. It happens that even the bravest man quietly withdraws from the bathroom having seen an old, good weight. What is equally interesting, among the sworn enemies of these harmless devices, those who struggle with overweight are not in the majority. They are often athletes, fitness enthusiasts and healthy dieting lovers. For them, each additional ounce is a personal failure!
