As you all know today is Tuesday which means its time to weigh myself ..well that I did this morning and they revealed 175 kgs .......yes without a word of a lie that is what they said to me.....I hopped off and back on them to reveal 156 , all I could do was laugh ...better than crying .....what to do what to do .....well decided I would go to my next door neighbour to weigh myself, she thought it was very funny but went on to tell me that maybe it has something to do with all the rain as mine are digital ..... personally am not too sure about that one but never mind her scales showed 99.5 which I have recorded as my official weight....
As today has gone on I have been thinking about the minor panic attack I had, the I must weigh myself mentality NOW, TODAY not TOMORROW... I have decided that if my scales are going to play funny buggers with me that I dont need them....if it turns out they are stuffed for want of a better word then I will not be rushing out to replace them.........I know I am exercising, eating well, weighing and counting points so at the end of the day alls good.......I have never been a fan of the scales probably cause of my fluid retention problem...for me the tape measure has always been a better option..yes its great when you see the numbers go down but I feel that I need not to rely on what they say for motivation...this is a lifestyle change ..one that is here for keeps..I know what to do...I know not what to do( learnt that one in a big way ..gaining almost all I had lost ) and to be frankly honest the "one step forward challenge" I have set myself is the best motivation tool I have used....... to know each day you are stepping forward not back is such an incentive to keep on going........
Have a great day

Holy cow - the whole 175kg bit would have been a bit much for my heart first thing in the morning!
I had my eyebrows and hair done today as well - freaky. Feel much more human now.
And I agree with your comment on my blog - it does touch all of us at some level. Just some of us more so than others.

Oh dear! At least my "wildly inaccurate scales" I was always complaining about only gave me a range of 2 to 3 kilos around my actual weight.
I would have DIED if my scales said 175 kgs.... literally! As for getting new ones, well I would have to! I am a scale freak!
