Power of Persuasion?!
Question:
Power of Persuasion?
How do I convince my mom to let me get a scale?? I'm thinking that she's afraid I'll try to lose a bunch of weight or something...
Answers:
That's a curious question. I always recommend a scale and that others weigh themselves once a week. Not for the purpose of vanity, but to chart progress or lack of it on a weekly basis. A sharp increase or decrease in weight can be a sign of a serious medical problem. Tell your mother that you want to get a scale so that you can genuinely chart the progress of your weight and good luck. Just don't lose too much.
