The battery died...

[Suzanne_H]

...on my SCALE! I've been battling (albeit not with too much effort) the temptation to jump on my scale first thing in the morning. Ok not first, first thing. FIRST thing is use the facilities, clean the ears, bellybutton lint, anything that could add pounds THEN weigh in. Sheeshola.

Anyhow so evidently I've been so obsessed with losing weight that I wore the batteries out. It takes a 9 volt battery, the kind I rarely have rolling around in a drawer somewhere. I was actually tempted to take the one out of the smoke detector, but was restored to sanity before that happened.

I have no idea what I weigh, but I've had compliments all day long about what a cute outfit. Now I have worn this same outfit many times to school before and never had one single comment. The measuring tape says I've lost another inch off the belly, and the skirt fits great. I used to have to constantly check the zipper to make sure it didn't give in to the stretch. There's no stretch now.

I just love this WOL.

Congrats! I wish I could break my addiction to the scale. I seem to live and die by it which is just as unhealthy as eating all the carbs!

Keep it up and before long you will be looking for another cute (but smaller) outfit.

Oh Suzanne, too funny. Sounds like the best thing that could happen to break an addiction. And you're thinking about those Wonderful changes like the looser skirt, I think you should "forget" to put the battery on your shopping list.

Re: The battery died...

I try once a week...sometimes I go longer depending on when I remember to do it. I'm not so focused on the weight right now (though others who know what I'm doing are, and I love how frustrated they get when I'm asked how much I've lost, and I say I'm not quite sure, I haven't weighed myself in awhile." As if it mattered how much I've lost, lol. They can already see the changes in my face thinning out.).
