Scale Stress?

Are you feeling the tug of emotion that comes with getting on the scale? Here are a few eye opener tips from my Lovin' the Skin You're In book:
Scales aren't always reliable: Weighing yourself on a scale doesn't accurately measure your progress. Scales only measure the pull of gravity on mass. A typical bathroom scale will not effectively show the size or density of the mass it's measuring. A pound of muscle and a pound of fat both weigh the same thing. But they look really different.
Weight fluctuates: It's natural for your weight to go up and down all the time. It can vary as much as ten pounds up or down, depending upon time of month, water retention, hormones, environmental factors and even atmospheric pressure.
If you think this is interesting, I'll be posting a video of my nutritionist explaining how it all works soon.
So what's your experience with the scale?
