My Dearest, Darling Scale

You tell me I weigh three pounds more today than I did yesterday. Really? Really? Because while I did have the munchies last night and may have knocked off a couple handfuls of Sun Chips, a slice of American cheese and about 12 M&Ms, I am pretty sure I didn't consume the 10,500 additional calories necessary to gain three pounds overnight.

So bite me.

  1. Ok Kristin.. I was gently reading the letter to your scale as I was sipping my tea.. and then proceed to spit it out across my computer when I read BITE ME.. LOL.. I agree with that sentiment, and hope that the scale nasties go away..

  3. I have these old scales you can have. They always register 10 pounds less than a real weight. Almost lost my protein shake all over my computer too! Just so everyone knows-you CAN'T gain 3 pounds from 12 m&m's.

  5. Ah, fuck the scale.
    Here's my method, which actually doesn't tell the scale to fuck off-- but it seems to be working:
    I weigh in every single morning and record the weight. EVERY MORNING.
    I record the weight mercilessly, and you know what, I've seen my weight bounce around but go in the general downward direction.

    Don't worry, the weight will come off!!!
    You are doing great.
    Or you could just throw your scale out the window... just look out for who is below-- if you see "Captain Unreasonable," please go ahead and throw it at will.

  6. You must have the same bouncing scale that I do!!! Don't worry eventually it gets it together and gives you a # you like, once a week...

  7. Bugger! Have you got a dirty great hammer you can scare it with? That sometimes works. It did for me x

    Don't fret - the weight could be anything from water to hormones.. just give it a day or two and something good has to happen - if not .. give that bitch scale a full on pelt and crack it's pretty face!
