Battle of the Scales
So every morning, with much anticipation, I wake up and rush downstairs to the 'office' area which sits open to our kitchen. We've moved the scale from our bathroom upstairs to this special spot near our kitchen. I remove my robe, tap my foot against the scale (after making sure the blinds are securely closed). I close my eyes, breathe deeply, and I take the big step onto what will either be my friend or enemy. I stay a moment before looking down and stepping off and my heart beats a little faster when I view the results. Rather up or down, I thank the scale, just sometimes more sarcastically than others, and I go about making my injection for the day. After injecting, I head to the living room and pull out the wii fit board. I ignore the little wii voice's groan when I step on the scale and I relax as it weighs me. Then I compare the two numbers. They are always different. My husband tells me to stick with one and live with what it tells me. I really try to, but I just can't help doing both. The wii is usually always higher than my scale. I like using the wii because it tracks my weight every day. Tells me when I'm up and down, tells me how many more pounds I need to lose before I meet my goal, even tells me my BMI. But it's ALWAYS higher than my beloved scale. I love the scale because it's been with me for a while and has always been reliable. It tracks how much weight I've lost, and it measure my water, etc. And let's face it....It's ALWAYS lower. They are never more than a few ounces different (today one said 189.8 and the other said 191.4). I still haven't figured which one is golden, but I am tracking both, so hopefully the ounces will catch up with each other. Still not sure who's winning!
