Sometimes it saddens me to read about a research study that has extremely boring results. John M. Grohol breaks down one such study on PsychCentral. Basically, researchers wanted to know if frequent self-weighing is linked to depression. The answer? No.
But they did find out that women who weigh themselves frequently tend to have a lower BMI. So go crazy, gals! Weigh away!

I weigh myself everyday, I go crazy if I can't..the weight will creep back up when you look away. I also go to them gym pretty much everyday.. Maybe that's why I've never gained weight on Serequel (anti-psychotic) and other anti-depressant and anti-anxiety drugs. Jeeze you would think I'm playing poker..anti-up!
