I have been contemplating some advise that my friend Liz gave me to throw away my scale and not worry about the numbers thing. She has some great points and I have been thinking about it hard and I almost did it but something stopped me. I thought to myself, how can I throw away something so dear to me? I have had that scale for about 17 years. It has seen me at my best and it has seen me at my worst and yet it is still always there for me- not judging but just giving me the truth. Yes this scale is like a good friend to me and no matter how I wish I could never see it again- it has to stay!
I can't feel better

Ryan always hides my scale because it drives him crazy that I weight my self so much. So I can imagine how hard it would be to part with the scale. I know mine can be found!!!
Seventeen years! Wow, that is amazing! Are you sure the thing still works? I chucked mine long ago. I don't even own a full length mirror anymore (so if you see my underwear tucked into my skirt you know why). I chucked my magnifying face mirror too (you know, the one that makes it look like you have ten zillion pores that are ALL clogged?) Not sure if these were smart ideas, but I think that I am a little more sane than I used to be. And now, the time that I used to devote to hopping on the scale and popping pimples can be devoted to downing a half a carton of Ben and Jerry's Mocha Mudslide ice-cream! If you don't want to ditch the scale, just give it a new home in the attic. You can take it out to weigh your luggage before your next plane ride! :)
i have kept my scale too lisa, but have put it in a hiding spot so i don't worry about the number. i'm still fighting my 3rd baby weight and she will be 4 at the end of the month.
