With every new tech gadget that hits the market, there seems to be an endless stream of articles trying to answer the burning question on everyone’s mind: “Should I get an iPhone 6?” Sure, if you’re into oversized phones! “Should I buy a Vitamix 9000?” Absolutely, but only if you’re a DIY nut butter aficionado! “Should I invest in a Tesla?” Yes! What else are you going to do with that hefty price tag?
For years, I found myself typing “Should I buy a Fitbit?” into Google more often than I’d like to admit. I devoured every pros-and-cons list I could find (like being able to see how many steps you’ve taken versus the occasional inaccuracies of the pedometer). Eventually, I decided to embrace the oddity of donning a sleek rubber bracelet and all the judgment that might come with it. I went all in with the Fitbit.
What truly makes me appreciate my Fitbit (I recently upgraded from the Fitbit Force to the latest Fitbit Charge) isn’t just the fancy features; it’s how it transforms dieting into something manageable, scientifically trackable, and yes—genuinely enjoyable.
The Fitbit eliminates the exhausting guesswork often associated with dieting. Anyone who has ever felt defeated by the lack of a Weight Watchers Points deduction for “emotional eating” understands the frustration of balancing control, negotiation, and patience. It’s the constant estimation of calories consumed, justifying that extra glass of wine because you opted for the stairs, and pondering if your jeans fit tighter or if it’s just a case of afternoon bloat. When starting a new diet, you have to put a lot of faith into something that might not show results for months.
Having a Fitbit on my wrist that tracks my steps, calculates calories burned, and provides real-time feedback is a revelation. It’s data—plain and simple. No more guessing or rationalizing food choices. Instead of feeling guilty about indulging in a large dinner when I skipped the gym, I can simply check my daily stats. If I eat more on a given day, I can tell myself, “I know I won’t shed any pounds if I keep this up”—without the guilt trip!
Sure, you’ll find tons of lists detailing the gadget’s tech specs and cool features. But the biggest advantage for me? The Fitbit has helped me cultivate a healthier, less emotionally charged relationship with food. That’s not one of their flashy marketing points (like the built-in altimeter or automatic sleep tracking), but it’s a game changer.
