*&^%$@* 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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
