Why do people keep their scales in the bathroom?

I read this question in someone's profile and it got me asking the same thing.

Why not the kitchen - where it might be an effective deterrent as one grabs for the Doritos and cookies?
Why not the living room - where game consoles, computers and TV sets invite bum-iness? Isn't placing the scale in the same area as the couch potato equal opportunity?

A carpenter doesn't hide his tape-measure. Why do dieters hide the scale?

For one your supposed to weigh yourself naked. In my opinion The real reason is because its private .That way no one knows they're lying .Even though we can tell. Hell when I was at 263. I avoided the topic like the plage. I'm a realist my *kitten* was 263 and it looked 263.

They say its best to weigh yourself naked, so privacy is important. In my opinion when someone ask " How much do you weigh ? " They can tell a big fat lie. Pun intended. Even though we can tell. Hell, when I was at 263lbs. I avoided that subject like the plage. My *kitten* was 263 and it looked 263. I ain't gonna make an *kitten* out of myself knowing they know. I'm a realist, but I also know how sensitive the subject can be. So when I'm lied to. I just let it go.

Simple. First they close the door. Then, after getting on the scale, they can yell, scream and curse at the scale without the rest of the household being involved. It's also close to the toilet, for those people who want to sit down and sob. LOL.

Well, cause I'm not getting naked in my kitchen.

Then you’re not cooking right!

Dude. No. Tried doing the sexy breakfast cooking once - bacon spits. Just... no.

Food choice is crucial ... splattering grease is a no-no.

Mine is in the breakfast nook over by the window, in plain sight but not in the way of things. In the morning I come into the room, look out the window to check on the bird feeders, and then I step on the scale. It's where I can see it and everyone has convenient access to it.

It's kind of funny that I've actually had guests casually use it when they see it sitting out. Doesn't bother me. Feel free to step up on the scale... I've actually never had it in the bathroom. Not enough room in there to have it taking up floor space...
