*&^%$@* Scale is broken ...



Recommended Posts

So this morning I weighed m'self. It is my monday ritual. I had to do a double and triple take of the numbers ... 238!! I was like HOLY SHIT RIGHT ON!! ... Then I just had to go and step on it again ... just to "make sure" ... right back to where it was last monday ... no change no nothing ...

its broken ... I wanted to throw it out the window ... maybe it just needs new batteries .. yeah yeah that is why it wont move .. batteries are dyin ... yeah yeah thats it ....

Gonna throw it out the window anyways... just to make me feel better .. only wish I lived in a multi story house .. Don't think much will happen to it as I live in a single story house ...

damned scale

Can you picture the shrine or modern art we could create with all of our broken, and discarded scales!!!

Trying to decide where the perfect spot for the art would be!!!

Think of it as a blessing is disguise. scales are probably one of our worst enemies.

When I use mine, I have to weigh 3 times, disregard the first number, and average the last two. The first time will always weigh me about 8 lbs over, or 8 lbs under. I guess it needs to warm up first or something. The next two weights are normally within 2 lbs of each other, and usually get me within 2 lbs of the doctor's scale.

Mine is the same everytime, but one time, my sister weighed herself..

She's a little bigger than me, but only because of height (she's shorter).

She got on the scale and it said like 180, and I said no friggin way and she's all dancing around the room. She gets back on and it's 220lb (which was right). I still don't know what caused it that day, I wonder if a cat toy got under it or something.

Stupid scales, they really do suck when it's not encouraging. Mine has been my best friend for months, and the past 2 weeks I really resent it.

My scale is always 2lb higher than my doc's scale.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
