Every Day Is A NEW Day!


I hate the scale.

Not for the numbers it gives me, but for the hope it takes away.
For the game it plays.
For the stress it gives.
For the room it takes.
For the mind it f.., er, well, you get the idea!

I'm done with it. Again. It never, EVER fails: I use the scale, I turn into a psycho. 

I have THE Too Tight Pants & gorgeous, Banana Republic dress hanging on my wall reminding how much we hate the scale. Starting now, we're breaking up with that hunk of metal.

It was the pants' decision. The dress is just along for the ride.*

I have exactly three weeks until I start personal training again. I was less terrified to have surgery than I am to face these bringers of pain. It has to be done though. It has to be. I've made up my mind. Life isn't going to wait on me. I either need to live it to the fullest or give it to someone who can. 

Since that last thought isn't an option, looks like it's just me and the life I have now. Let's do this mother! I'm reclaiming HOPE! Who's with me?

*See, I told you I'm a psycho!

Raaar! I'm with you!

You are totally right - the scales are bastards. Unreal that we let some stupid piece of metal decide our mood for the day (or longer!).

To give you a good old Scottish phrase 'Get in aboot it' (get in about it).

Dude. I am so with you. Scale is gone - as of now.

the funny thing? I lost 3.5 pounds when I wasn't weighing, now it's back and I haven't lost a thing. A THING.

The scale is a bitch.

I hate the Evil Scales of Doom too. Unless they give me a good reading and then I'm prepared to re-consider my position - scales, you have been warned!

PS I live on the same island as Lainey but I have no idea what 'get in about it' means, let alone 'get in aboot it'!!

I hear ya. I go back and forth, back and forth. Need the scale, hate the scale, need the scale, hate the scale...

I think my scale is possessed (or just a piece of crap) becauase it can give me three different weights in one day. I pretty much hate that thing :)
