     scale  expec:ng  to  see   weight  loss  and  see  a  li@le  weight  gain  instead”     “If   taken   too   seriously,   minimal   daily   weight   gain   might   lead   to   compulsive  weighing-­‐in  and  dras:c,  unhealthy  ea:ng  behaviors.”     “The   help   of   a   friend   may   be   mo:va:ng   factor   to   help   you   get   moving  and  eat  be@er  to  lose  weight.”   “Too  much  a@en:on  to  the   scale  can  be  misleading  and   ul:mately  lead  to   frustra:on  and   discouragement”
