Big FAT liars

I am working on not complaining (as much) but there are some things that just aren't fair. (Great intro to a postive blog, right?)

Ok y'all... I usually weigh myself once a week, at the gym, with my trainer. It's best to do that, by the way. Weigh yourself consistently, at the same time of day, once a week for the most accurate results.

Anywho, as a result of my laziness last week, I gained a little on the scale at my weigh in on Monday. But, I didn't work out with the trainer last week either, so I'm meeting with her again this Thursday. So, I'm hoping to drop a pound or two in water weight by Thursday. To check my progress, I weighed myself on my home scale this morning. I was 3.5 down from the scale at the gym on Monday. I know that's not right, thus, the reason for my complaint. Consider this my official grievance to scale companies worldwide.

Dear Weighers:
    You've got some 'splainin' to do. Somehow in the span of 2 days, I lost 3.5 pounds as a result of weighing myself at different times of the day on different scales. I understand that weighing yourself at different times of the day doesn't produce the most accurate results, but I believe the margin of error could be greatly reduced if all the big wigs at the scale companies got together, United Nations style, and came up with a fair and balanced (see what I did there?) system across the board. All of your scales should measure fairly so as not to confuse and depress your customers.
    With the standards of what's considered sexy and thin these days, women are under a lot of pressure. With the pressures of working, managing households, raising families AND trying to stay physically fit, women have a lot of balls to juggle, so to speak. Ergo, a lot of stress accompanies that. You are only adding to that stress with your scheming nonsense scales.
   Get it together, scale companies, because you are either giving women false achievements or false failures. I'd say that's a big FAT mistake.

Best Regards,
Laura
