False Reading…

by Lindsay, another priorfatgirl on January 21, 2010

…that’s what I’m claiming! False reading! Urgg! You guys have heard about my issues with my inaccurate scale… I’m just getting REALLY frustrated with it! Last night, I stepped on the scale before bedtime.. not nakie, but close. It said 214.0 (%^#$%&!!!!!!!) I was HAPPY. I know that I tend to drift about 2 pounds in my sleep, so I thought, heck yes! I’m going to wake up and be around 212! Holla! So, this morning, right before I stepped in the shower, I jump on my scale… bare assed – 220. WTF scale!? I outta throw you out the freaking window!!! I was annoyed. Not because I think I ACTUALLY gained 6 pounds over night, just because now I don’t know when to believe the scale and when not to! It’s so frustrating. I had never had this issue with my scale before… until I moved into my new house.

So, I was a little pissy, I swore at the scale and then jumped into the shower. After showering, I am dressed (well, half way dressed) and I decided to just try it again. This time it says 217. You stupid piece of… well, you know! I officially hate my scale. I just want to trust it. If I can’t trust my scale, what CAN I trust!? Haha okay, okay, that’s a little drama queen-ish, but you get it…

According to my scale… this is what happens to me overnight… joy! Grrrr

I know, I know.. I didn’t gain 6 pounds overnight, but I’m uberly frustrated. I just want to trust my scale. It’s not a cheap thing either, which annoys me even more and I refuse to go spend money on a new one!

One the plus side, I do FEEL better. My clothes, I feel, are looser… so I know good things are happening… last weekend, my sister said something to the effect of, “you look skinnier” (I wish I could remember her exact words, cuz it was great!) and before that my cousin said to me “you’re skinny!” (I mean, c’mon! I know I’m not skinny (and call me crazy, but I really don’t WANT to be skinny – curves baby!), but that was nice to hear!) but still, damn that scale.

Vent: Over.

Have a good day everyone! Sorry about the vent, I just needed to get that out! :)

PS – no gym tonight, I HAVE to figure out how to roll over my stupid 401k since I’ve switched jobs (it’s been harder than I imagined it would be), so I’m heading over to my momma’s house tonight for help. I know, EXCUSE… but I’ll be at the gym tomorrow… I have a training appointment! :)
