I Despise That Scale

You might notice if you follow this blog through reader that the last post disappeared. It was just me obsessing only this time about our tanita scale that gives body fat percentage.

I was all proud of myself thinking I had below 30 % even though the number is still waaaay too high.

You wanna hear something tragic? It has individual settings for each person who uses it -- and yep, you guessed it, I was reading what it would be if I were G. When it read mine it was higher than the original 38% five years and twenty pounds ago.

So, the euphoria was short lived.

I will tell myself the same thing I told my MIL today -- I'm working on a slow and steady 1.5 lb loss a week (some weeks not so much so) -- and in a year? Hopefully I'll be seeing results. It's hard to imagine right now but I refuse to be discouraged and give up.

I swore off chocolate again after the last lindt chocolate egg.
