When you step on the scale, the number you see becomes a part of your feedback loop. Meaning you take that information in, and then make subsequent decisions based on that…then you weigh yourself again and continue to adjust based on actions you took from your previous measurement…and on and on. This can be dangerous, and the danger is that we use the number on the scale today to make decisions about tomorrow based on assumptions from yesterday. Just because something is easy to measure, doesn’t mean you need to use it to drive decisions.
