Use the bathroom.
Accuracy is unrelated to consistency. You need a known weight to test accuracy but you just need a fixed weight to test consistency.

That's a
precise amount of
pure water. An accuracy test. But for consistency test you can use anything not living: it doesn't matter how much it weighs, it only matters it weighs the same every time (and the scale should confirm that).

If you are "
learning to fly" and it's your weight rather than the scale that's inconsistent (because you "care") apply a consistent approach: use your first try only
, or use the same number of tries and a mean value calculated from all or just the max and min try reading
, or just the min, or just the max... "What goes up (learning to fly) must come down."
Mind your bathroom condition and time of the day (schedule), of course.
A less accurate scale can also help to remove extra accuracy and retrieve only the difference that matters.
