So i have a confession..........

OK, I have a confession…. I’m not liking the scale too much. He doesn’t match how I feel and I feel like he’s lying to me and cheating on me with a bigger girl. Every time I use him, it just seems off. So… I been cheating on him with the measuring tape…. Ok don’t dodge me ok. He says all the right things and he is sooo encouraging. He just plain and simple makes me happy. I’m not quite ready to leave the scale just yet, maybe one day. The measuring tape said he’s ok with wait for me to leave the scale. He will still make me feel better and support me even through the lies with the scale. Oh wow that felt good….

    Maybe scale feels like your stepping all over him. Always talking how he doesn't measure up.

    That scale sounds like a jerk! Wonder if it's realted to mine. Always taking me up then down always playing with my emotions. I am committed! I see him on a regular basis and yet the mind cames continue.

    Ignore him and pay attention to your next love, the mirror. He'll probably make you smile more.

    I finally got sick and tired of mine and kicked him to the curb. Life is much better with my measuring tape!

    Sometimes I even call my scale a lying cheating Ba*tard! I do have other scales on the side though (one on each side actually)... I use them when I am feeling down and out about my main scale to check if my main scale is lying...the scale on the right should say I weigh 3 pounds less, the one on the left should say I weigh 7 pounds less. When the middle scale, my MAIN scale says I weigh outside of those parameters- then I know HE IS A LYING CHEATING BA*TARD!

    Have you thought of asking for a more "open" relationship? Maybe they'd both be open to a poly relationship where you can be fulfilled by interacting with both of them? They may even get along with each other!

    I have 2 and they are only usually 1/2 a pound or so different, but I do go from scale 1 to scale 2, back to 1 then 2, a few times to make sure they aren't going to change their mind then average the weights for my "official" weight.

    Exactly. What's wrong with a threesome?

    I only use the scale as a target reference. The probability of me having the waist size I want at 200 lbs. is minimal. But at 190 lbs. it is doable. At 190 I would be considered to heavy but I think I would look healthy. So 185-190 is my goal, not 170. The tape is your friend. The scale is to wishy washy from one day to the next, he will cheat on you. An inch is an inch every day. Very dependable in a long term relationship. I wish the both of you the very best.

    Threesomes are a lot of fun! Wait are we talking about the same thing?

    Actually my tape is a cold, slippery character. Two faced and rolls up at the most inconvenient times. My scale, on the other had, has supported me through all my ups and downs. I always know where I am with him.

    Threaten to remove your scale's batteries if he doesn't want to cooperate!

    Yeah. I only pull out scale and tape measure a couple of times a month. The mirror is my go to and he says I look awesome but some of my pants are looking a bit baggy. :blushing:

    EDIT: oh yeah that's a foursome. This is getting complicated.

    My scale doesn't lie, but he's pretty moody and changes his mind a lot. I try not to take it too personally, though. Sometimes he just doesn't know how to deal with my hormones so that's when we spend a little time apart.

    Maybe Mr. Scale needs an attitude adjustment (recalibrated)...
