Weighing yourself regularly is a wonderful way to stay aware of any significant weight fluctuations. [1], when done too often, this habit can sometimes hurt more than it [2].
As for me, weighing myself every day caused me to shift my focus from being generally healthy and physically active, to focusing [3] on the scale. That was bad to my overall fitness goals. I had gained weight in the form of muscle mass, but thinking only of [4] the number on the scale, I altered my training program. That conflicted with how I needed to train to [5] my goals.
I also found that weighing myself daily did not provide an accurate [6] of the hard work and progress I was making in the gym. It takes about three weeks to a month to notice significant changes in your weight [7] altering your training program. The most [8] changes will be observed in skill level, strength and inches lost.
For these [9], I stopped weighing myself every day and switched to a bimonthly weighing schedule [10]. Since weight loss is not my goal, it is less important for me to [11] my weight each week. Weighing every other week allows me to observe and [12] any significant weight changes. That tells me whether I need to [13] my training program.
I use my bimonthly weigh-in [14] to get information about my nutrition as well. If my training intensity remains the same, but I’m constantly [15] and dropping weight, this is a [16] that I need to increase my daily caloric intake.
The [17] to stop weighing myself every day has done wonders for my overall health, fitness and well-being. I’m experiencing increased zeal for working out since I no longer carry the burden of a [18] morning weigh-in. I’ve also experienced greater success in achieving my specific fitness goals, [19] I’m training according to those goals, not the numbers on a scale.
Rather than [20] over the scale, turn your focus to how you look, feel, how your clothes fit and your overall energy level.

全文翻译

定期称体重是了解任何显著体重波动的好方法。然而，当做得太频繁时，这种习惯有时可能弊大于利。

对我来说，每天称体重导致我把注意力从整体健康和身体活动中转移到了只关注体重秤上。这对我的整体健身目标很不利。我以肌肉质量的形式增加了体重，但因为只想着降低体重秤上的数字，我改变了训练计划。这与我为实现目标所需进行的训练方式相冲突。

我还发现，每天称体重并不能准确反映我在健身房的努力和进展。改变训练计划后，需要大约三周到一个月才能注意到体重的显著变化。最直接的变化将体现在技能水平、力量和减少的英寸数上。

基于这些原因，我停止了每天称体重，改为每两周称一次。由于减肥不是我的目标，每周追踪体重对我来说不那么重要。每隔一周称重能让我观察和记录任何显著的体重变化。这告诉我是否需要调整训练计划。

我也利用每两周的称重结果来获取有关营养的信息。如果我的训练强度保持不变，但我持续的体重在下降，这是一个提示我需要增加每日卡路里摄入量的信号。

停止每天称体重的决定对我的整体健康、健身和幸福感产生了奇效。我对锻炼的热情增加了，因为我不再背负每天早晨称重带来的负担。我在实现特定健身目标方面也取得了更大的成功，因为我是在根据这些目标进行训练，而不是根据体重秤上的数字。

与其纠结于体重秤，不如把注意力转向你的外表、感觉、衣服的合身程度和整体能量水平。

深度解析 (Answers & Logic)

  • 1. [D] However. 逻辑关系题。前句说定期称重是好方法，后句说太频繁会带来伤害，构成转折，故选However（然而）。
  • 2. [A] helps. 语义对照题。"hurt more than it helps"（弊大于利）是固定搭配，hurt与help形成对比。
  • 3. [B] solely. 语义衔接题。作者的注意力从全面健康转移到了“仅仅（solely）”关注体重秤上。
  • 4. [B] lowering. 逻辑推理题。作者长了肌肉导致体重增加，但因为只想着“降低（lowering）”体重秤上的数字，错误地改变了训练计划。
  • 5. [D] reach. 固定搭配题。train to "reach my goals"（达成我的目标）。
  • 6. [B] depiction. 词义辨析题。每日称重不能提供在健身房努力和进步的准确“描绘/反映（depiction）”。
  • 7. [A] due to. 逻辑关系题。大约需要三周到一个月才能注意到“由于（due to）”改变训练计划而产生的显著体重变化。
  • 8. [D] immediate. 语境题。体重的改变很慢，最“立竿见影的（immediate）”变化将体现在技能水平、力量和围度上。
  • 9. [C] reasons. 固定搭配题。For these reasons（由于这些原因）。
  • 10. [A] instead. 逻辑关系题。停止每天称重，“转而（instead）”切换到半月称重一次的计划。
  • 11. [A] track. 动宾搭配题。因为减肥不是目标，所以每周“追踪（track）”体重就不那么重要了。
  • 12. [D] account for. 词义辨析题。每两周称一次让我能观察并“弄清...的原因（account for）”显著的体重变化。
  • 13. [B] adjust. 动宾搭配题。体重变化能告诉我是否需要“调整（adjust）”训练计划。
  • 14. [A] results. 语义衔接题。我利用半月一次的称重“结果（results）”来获取营养信息。
  • 15. [C] hungry. 语境推理题。如果训练强度不变，但我经常“感到饥饿（hungry）”并且掉体重。
  • 16. [D] sign. 语义衔接题。经常饿且掉体重，这是一个“迹象/信号（sign）”，表明我需要增加热量摄入。
  • 17. [C] decision. 语境题。停止每天称重的这个“决定（decision）”给我的健康带来了奇效。
  • 18. [A] disappointing. 情感色彩题。每天早上的称重结果往往不好，不再背负“令人失望的（disappointing）”晨间称重负担后，锻炼热情增加了。
  • 19. [D] because. 逻辑关系题。我取得了更大的成功，“因为（because）”我是根据目标训练，而不是根据体重秤上的数字。
  • 20. [A] obsessing. 固定搭配题。obsess over 意为“痴迷于/过分纠结于”。与其“纠结于（obsessing over）”体重秤，不如关注外观、感觉等。

核心长难句精解 (High-Light)

1. 介词短语与动名词的连用：
"As for me, weighing myself every day caused me to shift my focus from being generally healthy and physically active, to focusing solely on the scale."
【解析】句子的核心谓语是 `caused me to shift`。`from... to...` 结构连接了两个并列的动名词短语，清晰地对比了心态的转变：从关注全面健康，退化为只盯着体重秤上的数字。
2. 形式主语与不定式作真正主语：
"It takes about three weeks to a month to notice significant changes in your weight due to altering your training program."
【解析】`It takes time to do sth.` 是经典句型。`due to` 引导原因状语，说明体重的变化是由改变训练计划引起的。这句话在逻辑上强调了“肌肉生长/脂肪减少”是需要周期的，解释了每天称重不科学的原因。
3. Because引导的原因状语从句与对比结构：
"I’ve also experienced greater success in achieving my specific fitness goals, because I’m training according to those goals, not the numbers on a scale."
【解析】`because` 引导原因状语从句。从句内部使用了 `A, not B` 的对比结构（根据目标，而不是根据数字），点明了全文的主旨：健身应回归健康本身，而非被刻板的体重数字绑架。

Practice makes perfect.
