My Scales Died on the Weekend

Apr 19, 2010 02:38pm Sindy Rella Total Posts: 29	My electonic scale that runs on batteries died this weekend….so, I won’t be replacing them anytime soon. We’ll see how long my husband can go without weighing himself. He was like me, weighing practically every morning. It’s been kind of freeing, knowing that I can’t weigh myself. If he complains too much, I’ll replace them; but I’m going to try not to weigh myself.

It didn’t take him long to miss it. One of the batteries leaked so it may not ever work again, but I’ll clean it up and see. Mine is the kind that tells you body fat %. Like, what was I thinking when I bought that model!?

At this point is will be nothing but discouragment for me: I know I’ve gained, my clothes are definitely tighter-BUT, my dieting days are dying! I’ve always placed too much emphasis on my weight & the scale. I’m looking forward to good things!

Being her own flesh & blood I can’t believe she isn’t the tiniest bit curious, but she just doesn’t need the scale in her life. She has gone to the doctor a time or two since then and when they weigh her she tries to whistle, plug her ears, look at the ceiling (any distracting measure she can take!) and they take note and don’t say her weight out loud.
