My Bathroom Scale Hates Me

Honestly. My scale will spit out one weight 3 times in a row... I will take a hot shower hoping to sweat off another 1/2 pound maybe get another pound lighter, get out of the shower, completely dry off and it spits out a weight 2lbs HEAVIER than the first time! Julie measures herself on the same scale too. Wondering if the scale has a flaw for people as 'heavy' as me I went to double check on my uber-high tech Wii fit and it spits out a weight 1 pound LIGHTER than the pre-shower weight. So there's a 3lbs discrepancy between my bathroom scale and my Wii Fit Scale. Of course I began using the bathroom scale so that is begrudgingly the weight I will use to report.

On the flip side, Julie weighs exactly the same on both scales...but I'm 3lbs heavier on the bathroom scale?

The Wii Fit loves Julie too. It tells her she is of 'normal weight' and applauds her progress. It tells me that I am 'overweight' with a cute little frownie face and 'disappointed' sound effect. The worst part of the Wii Fit is, if you are measured at 'overweight' it substitutes your would-be torso for a huge beach ball shaped one...

Oh well. One day I'll be "normal" again.
