My Hubby Moved My Scale.....

...and I gained 8 pounds!!!!

Really!! , this happened yesterday. He was cleaning (yah, he's a keeper) and moved my electronic scale. I weigh myself every monday. I got on it this morning and I was up 8 pounds from last week. Then I noticed the scale was in a different place. So I decided to try an experiment. I put it in several places around my huge tile bathroom. My weight ranged from 212 to 230!!! I had to chuckle. So....if I want to feel skinnier, weigh in this corner....feeling fat today? This corner!!! It was funny....but maybe you had to be there....but, then again I was naked as a jaybird so maybe not. :-).

And yes, i know all the rules. Don't go by the scale only (i don't!). And to really keep things real you need to weigh on the same scale, in the same spot...etc. I just wanted to share my chuckle this morning with all of of sleever buddies. :-)

I had the same thing happen to me yesterday. He moved the furniture and so, the scale also got moved. I weighed myself and it said I gained 14 pounds! Today, at the dr's office, I was the same weight as I was before the scale was moved. No 14 pound weight gain. :)

Happens by a few pounds in my house. When I was in stall I would move it just to make sure.

I can get a 10lb difference. The scale is not the most reliable tool.

Hey, it's FUN to live in my head.

Scales suck and they are all different. Is there a true scale anywhere?

I have a special tile just for my scale...My hubby knows to make sure it stays in that tile. That is how serious it is...funny, Yes.
