I think we should all write letters to our scales. It's kind of theraputic! A catharsis of sorts.

Here is mine:

Dear scale,

I am writing this letter to let you know that I hate you. I think we should break up. I don't like your honesty. Can't you sugarcoat things for me? I mean what's a few pounds less once in awhile? We have talked about this before...but NO, you continue to show me what I don't want to see.

I know we have been together for awhile. This might be hard on you. Deal with it buddy. I don't want to have to go all Jerry Springer on your ass. I am sorry you have had to live right by the litterbox. But space is limited.

Perhaps we can get together on the moon. Where you will show me the numbers I long to see.

Until then,

Your ex-friend,

Amy

P.S. Um....okay, so you know I am not getting rid of you. But, Oprah said we need to share our feelings with each other. :hurray:

Lol I love that!!!

LOL!

Do we need some scale to human positive reinforcement?? Maybe we should put a sign by the scale that says, "I love my scale. The scale is the only thing that is truly honest with me (unless we change the settings lol), good and bad. The scale is my friend." LOL :hurray:

Maybe it's upset cuz it doesn't have a name. I named my band when I get cuz we will have a relationship for a very long time. I never thought about the relationship we have with the scale. Humm...I may have to think about that. I know I'm a little 'OFF', but as long as I laugh it counteracts my lack of exercise. :hurray:

Will you write a love note to your scale when it does tell you what you want to hear? lol

Good luck with that one. :hurray:

Spud Mama :hurray:

Dear scale,

Thank you for not climbing up excessively during this pregnancy even though I have been eating a lot more than is typical during banding with my band unfilled.

"Will you write a love note to your scale when it does tell you what you want to hear? lol"

Funny! I will have to think about that. I dont want it to get too full of itself. Maybe its upset bc I wasnt kind enough to it during my pre-op diet when it was behaving sooo well!

OR, maybe I should be thanking it for reminding me to get up and move my bootie more (which I have been doing). But...that wouldnt be as funny.:hurray:

Heather, how far along are you?

Maybe it likes your bootie and refuses to admit defeat. LOL :tt1:

LOL!!!!!

Love it.

Well, if it starts singing Sir mix-a-lot (I like big butts and I cannot lie) I will know for sure:tongue:

Dear Scale,

Just a note to tell you how much I appreciate your positive reinforcement of my efforts. I know we have had words occasionally over the last 6 months but you have been there to support me. For years you just collected dust in the corner and now I am working you every day or so. You and my new friends, the band and the gym have made a new person out of me! I know our road will be rocky at times but you are a constant reminder of how far I have come and are encouraging me to go all the way. Thank you.

With Love,

Diane

Dear Scale,

DAMN you took a long vacation this year. You haven't budged for 6 months!! thank God you're back and on the way down once more. Hope you had a wonderful time in stucksville. No offense but I hope you don't go there again for a while. I need you working WITH me not AGAINST me. Hope your seeiing me naked on a daily basis wasn't your reason for leaving me. For that I apologize, but it's necessary. Now that we're speaking again. Welcome Back!!

Maybe it likes your bootie and refuses to admit defeat. LOL :w00t:

Well, if it starts singing Sir mix-a-lot (I like big butts and I cannot lie) I will know for sure:tongue:

LOL!! Wouldn't that be absolutely funny if you could rig the thing to play that song every time you get on it?! That would be AWESOME!! LOL
