My Scale Thinks It's On The Biggest Loser!

Current Mood: Optimistic :thumbup:

 

In preparation for my fill, I weighed myself this morning and I think my scale has delusions of grandeur or ambitions to be on TV! It is a new, good quality digital scale but when I get on, it does the same thing the scale on The Biggest Loser does....up, down, up, down, up, up, down, down. I find myself holding my breath to see where it settles every time. Luckily, I don't have to wait for a commercial break to find out what I weigh!

 

I think I've figured it out though...it never shows a weight lower than my actual weight, so at least I'm not thinking I lost 8 lbs for 1/10th of a second before it settles 5 pounds higher. I still have a sort of "phew" moment when it shows the low number every time.

 

I'm just really glad it can't talk! LOL

LOL this is WHY I don't weigh myself anywhere but at the doctor's office when I get fills because I would have SURELY thrown a scale or two by now LOL..

Although the one at my surgeon's office does the same thing I just close my eyes and tell the nurse to tell me when it's over lol
