An obsession with your fitness tracker should be a good thing. After all, it promotes setting and achieving goals, and comes with handy vibrating reminders (and inspirational messages!) to help you stay focused. But like with many tech accessories, your love for the little piece of plastic around your wrist can easily get out of hand. While meeting step goals and charting runs is a plus, it can be good to give your wrist a rest every now and then. (And no, that doesn't mean checking your step stats on your phone instead.) Click through to see if you need to turn your tracker off for a day or two — for your own sake and the sanity of those around you.
You put serious energy into convincing all of your friends to get one so that you can share your stats with each other.
You're constantly thinking up more and more creative ways your step count.
You feel stressed when a friend tells you she forgot to put on her Fitbit that morning.
The thought of your battery dying midday induces instant panic.
Your favorite kind of competition is one that involves stepping in place.
Your significant other has requested you take off your tracker before bed, but you decline.
You wake up feeling concerned that your tracker isn't recording your sleep accurately (which only slightly defeats the point).
You don't take negative comments about your Jawbone's appearance lightly.
You judge the meaningfulness of different moments in life according to what your heart rate is doing at those times.
