First Weigh In

I'm used to weighing in at the doctor's office- even if I'm just going in for blood work, my doctor makes me get on the scale. I don't get embarrassed at her office- they all know I'm fat, and they know what I'm doing to not be fat. 

I wasn't terribly thrilled to weigh in at work, but I thought my saving grace would be that they were going to have two people with scales to expedite the process- one skinny, one nice and round. I, of course, was planning on getting in line with the nice and round weigh-er, but so was everyone else in the office. So me, being the nice person I am, put my pride away and let Ms. Probably-never-been-five-pounds-overweight-in-her-life weigh me in. At least it was fast. 

I expect disparity in scales, but today I had the opportunity to check three against each other: my home scale, the scale at work, and the scale at my doctor's office. Surprisingly, my scale and the doctor's scale are only a tenth of a pound off from each other. The work scale, though? Mother fucking 2 and a half pounds higher. Not only do my coworkers know how fat I am, they believe a lie of 2.5 pounds! 

Okay, none of my co-workers (save Ms. Thin-butt up there) knows my actual weight. But still. 

Ah well.  Only 89 more days to make it low enough that it doesn't matter.

  1. Their scale is just rigged. remember you need to always weigh yourself on the same scale to know how much you truly lose. good luck!
