-------------------------- SAVE THE DATE! --------------------------

SWA (Scale Whores Anonymous)

-------------------------- Semi Annual Meeting --------------------------

When: Friday, August 21st

Where: Right Here at LBT

Bring: Your Scale, Your Spreadsheets

or your mirror (Lena), and your adventures/tips to share

 

Alright all you SWA Members (and those that need to join), I’m getting ready for our semi-annual SWA Meeting. What? You don’t know if you qualify? Well, here are the qualifications for becoming a member. You only need to say ‘Yes’ to last one* and ‘Yes’ to any one other item listed below, and you’re in:

 

- Do you get on your scale often? This can be anywhere between every hour to more than once a week (I’m a daily girl myself). More often than that and you just need help and you’re too afflicted even for us (Don’t worry Spud.mama, getting on and off 3 times in a row to average doesn’t count as too much…hope that new scale solved this horrific problem).

 

- Do you find yourself trying to wear (or naked) basically the same thing every time you weigh yourself (Julie.Ann…I’ve been wondering when you wash that one workout outfit for your Wii weigh-ins)?

 

- Do you weigh yourself, or your clothing/shoes (You know who you are weighing those shoes and it doesn't matter if you don't weigh at home!) before you go to the doctor so you can figure your exact weight (I’ve found myself going to the garage to get my shoes and weigh in with everything before leaving…and I’ll even admit I won’t go to the bathroom until they weigh me)?

 

- Do you somehow chart or spreadsheet your weight (Julie.ann & Sunshine2), or track it on your bathroom mirror (Lena)?

 

- Do you try to somehow predict what your weight will be in the future? Those with magic crystal balls need not apply (that’s cheating and considered an unfair advantage…the rest of us are at the mercy of the Weight Loss Gods who take great pleasure in messing with our predictions daily).

- *Do you NOT want help for any of the above? Meaning you’re secretly OK with the fact that you’re a Scale Whore?

 

Then come out of the closet (or bathroom) and sign up to join us!

 

Can you believe our first meeting was way back in February (time flies when you’re busy weighing yourself)? Meet me right here on LBT for our 2nd meeting. So shine up those scales and get your spreadsheets, charts, and mirrors (Lena) in order. Bring your tips to share (Julie.ann, please bring your three different spreadsheets to share as you’ll be covering the OCD portion of the meeting along with Sunshine2) and be ready to commiserate with other SWA members! Oh, and Lena requests that you bring a yardstick for an extra fun chair rail craft project (photos afterwards, optional).

 

*Suggestions and Volunteers for agenda topics now being taken (you suggest it, you've volunteered)*

 

See you here! Have a great weekend all!

 

Here’s a recap of our first meeting for those who missed it (let me tell you, it went on and on through other’s blogs too…)

I knew I had a problem. I just didnt know what to call it. I can honestly say I do each one of the above except for the spread sheet. WHY? because I have teen agers and nosey friends and till I am down in Onederland, I wont go there. Yes I weigh not once a day but two to three times, I some times get mad at the pm wieight and strip down to my undies hoping it will at least match my am wieght and think "dang what did i eat/drink today? my daughter has threatened to hide the scales except for a once a week wiegh in. I guess I am official. I am a Scale Whore. I guess it beats what I used to be, My oldest used to tell my husband, "dad mom has been at her brothel again. She is a chic filet whore."

Sign me up! I'm a poor, pathetic scale whore. I weigh myself at least twice a day. I keep the weights in my daily planner and I compare them to 2007, and I've gotta say, it's very satisfying. There's just something about seeing those red, digital numbers decrease - sweet!

OMG LOL This is the most hysterical group I have ever heard of. I know I should be a part of this one. I am a scale whore even if I do not own one. I keep a scale in my head and weigh my shoes. How pathetic!!!! I admit I am powerless over the scale and ask the SWA for help because that is the first step, "Giant step for whore kind" asking for help isn't it? I just LOVE this site. Thanks for keeping me laughing and my paws out of the cookie jar. Kathy imaluckydog

O.K. O.K. !! Hi, my name is Doodlebug11 and I am a Scale Whore!! ( that's all I know of AA meetings) but anyway sign me up !! I only weigh the first thing in the morning, well, maybe the 2nd thing, not saying what the 1st is, and I don't chart anything, just keep it in my head. And yes, I have been known to weigh my shoes, hold up 2 different outfits, to feel which one is the lightest, take all the stuff out of my pockets, remove all jewelery, so I guess that makes me a SCALE WHORE !!!!

Ooh--scale whore, that's me. I think I weighed myself 4 or 5 times yesterday alone. Of course I weighed myself when I woke up, but then I went to the hospital (wicked, wicked kidney stone) and got 2 liters fo fluids wo when I got home I re-weighed myself and found I'd gained *gulp* 6 1/2 POUNDS. I wanted to cry. So I think I re-weighed every time I peed but it's hardly gone back down at all. It's very depressing. I'm going to be on the scale 16 times a day until that water weight has evaporated :sneaky:

Laugh OUT LOUD!!!!!Laugh OUT LOUD!!!!! Can you hear me I a laughing?? I am just dying here you are so funny.

If I buy a scale it will be so hard for me. I will be standing on it while I make my dinner no kidding, I know myself. I would not even know what kind to buy? I would not waste my money on a cheap one and since I cannot see my toes without my glasses I am going to have to invest a small fortune in one where the dial is IN MY FACE.... Thanks for not outing me just yet there is HOPE OBEIWYANKANOBI

I feel BETTER already. imaluckydog

EVERY day when I get on the scale I think "scale whore"....EVERY DAY!!! HAHAHAHA!!! I will be there! Count me in... Do I get extra points because my spreadsheet has a graph (complete with a linear prediction of where I WILL be at Christmas time based on past performance???)
