Scale Mischief

So, we all know that bathroom scales are frenemies to those who use them regularly. BUT... it just occurred to me that the kitchen scale and the bathroom scale are in cahoots!

You get on the bathroom scale and think, I cannot possibly be that big. I will work harder on MFP, I will make sure I have the right portion sizes and weigh my foods, and do everthing perfectly.

Then you head to kitchen, and you weigh out your chicken, or ice cream, or whatever. And you look at your food, and you look at the scale, and think, one portion cannot possibly be that tiny!

Those scales are up to no good I tell you. I think they come up with new schemes when we are not looking. And I'm sure my husband's 61 grams of ice cream is twice as big as mine... humph!

    That is one of the best rants I've read in a long time. A very true rant at that. Bravo! You just made my day! lol

    From my blog: Evil Scale...

    What a nasty little piece of machinery you are. Sitting there, looking up at me and telling me I've gained weight when everything else tells me I've lost. You really do have a sick sense of humour - I understand now why so many of your brethren are smashed, drowned and otherwise killed to death by their owners. It's a shame you have to be such a horrible little thing. We could have got along great, and sure, maybe you don't appreciate me standing on you, but it's your job, and it's also your job to tell me the truth. You only have to work once a week, you selfish, arrogant piece of plastic and glass.
