busting the scales

I’m open for scale recommendations. Mine is a total POS. I’ve had the damn thing for 9 or so months and it’s never worked quite right. I should have packed the thing back up immediately and returned it to the store but i was BUSY or lazy, really it could have been either.

Since it’s been wildly inaccurate from day one, I had gotten myself into the habit of weighing myself 3 times and taking the average of those to be my weight.

Weigh in #1 yielded a loss of 1lb SCORE! VICTORY! Take THAT baby fat! *crosses fingers that round 2 and 3 will be similar*

attempt 2: Step off, wait wait wait, step back on. WTF? Up 11 pounds? Quickly step off evil scale and consider punching the wall

attempt 3: step up, look down and stare at LED window hard enough to make it burst into flames. waiting…. waiting… MOTHER F’ER! Up 67lbs!! Stomp off of scale, consider throwing it through the window, cuss copiously, take a deep breath and steel myself.

Attempt 4: relocate scale to different spot on bathroom floor, convince myself that it must have been sitting unevenly. Remove socks because it is totally plausible that 67 pounds of excess weight could be hiding in 12oz of sock yarn. Deep breath, deep breath, bite lip annnnnnd W T F ? Am I being punked? Look up for hidden cameras, roll eyes to either side… nope, only me here. Me and a scale that says I weigh 163lbs more then i did yesterday.

So yeah, I’m taking scale recommendations and don’t say Taylor cause I’ve got one of those duds sitting in my bathroom just waiting for me to take a baseball bat to it.
