It's a tradition
The tradition of Weigh-In Day has been around for a long time. This tradition was created by the introduction of weighing scales and is used to encourage people to be more conscious about how many calories they eat. King Henry VIII served the first Christmas dinner, but the tradition has been around since a long time. In 1573, roast turkey had become a standard Christmas dinner.
High Wycombe in England hosts an annual Mayor Weigh In. The Mayor Weigh-In is symbolic. Men wearing period clothes are required to weigh the mayor on a 1700s scale. The mayor's weight is recorded, and the record is kept for the year following. The mayor's weight is then announced by the town crier.
