Scale:: You are hereby placed on notice.


Dear Scale,

I am hereby placing you on notice that unless things change, you will be off  'the friend list'.  I mean it!  I am so over your silly games.

I thought we had finally worked thru some of our issues (me working my tushy off and you rewarding me with a negative number), but this past Saturday, you really let me down.  You knew how hard I'd been working for the past three weeks.  I mean, you showed me a loss of 2.2 lbs on January 17th, and a loss of .6 lbs on January 24th, so I thought for sure that on the 31st there'd be more great news - but it.was.not.so.  

Instead of a negative number, you gave me a positive number.  A positive number!  Of all the nerve.  I mean, I totally tracked everything I ate, killed myself at the gym, and drank my weight in water and this is how you reward me?!  Unbelievable...

I was so distraught that I vented to my doctor this morning and he kindly (and oh so gently) reminded me that I am fighting an uphill battle due to my metabolic syndrome.  Fine!  So I guess it's not all you, but this next Saturday when I see you, please remember how hard I've been working and to be kind - or else!

This is why I don't own a scale.

My scale is getting the exact same lecture.

WTF? I lost my comment! I was going to say, no worries, you will come up on the losing side this week

It is just not fair that some people are born with good metabolisms and skinny genes. Nor that my mother was addicted to Iceberg milkshakes while she was prego with me - hence my thighs.

I pulled out my shotgun to kill my scale this morning. But I didn't want to wake the kids.

If you hate my scale for me, I'll hate your scale for you.

I don't trust scales, mine is a compulsive liar! I think genetically they all are so...I'm sure yours is too!

My scale and I are not on speaking terms.
