How Many Have You Done?
Got this in email and thought it was just TOO funny. I know I'm guilty of more than one scenario

How to Lie to the Bathroom Scales
1. Weigh yourself with clothes on, after dinner...as well as
in the morning, without clothes, before breakfast, because
it's nice to see how much weight you've lost overnight.
2. Never weigh yourself with wet hair.
3. When weighing, remove everything, including glasses. In
this case, blurred vision is an asset. Don't forget the
earrings, these things can weigh at least a pound.
4. Use cheap scales only, never the medical kind, because
they are always five pounds off...to your advantage, of
course.
5. Always go to the bathroom first.
6. Stand with arms raised, making pressure on the scale
lighter. (Waving them is optional but occasionally helps!)
7. Don't eat or drink in the morning until AFTER you've
weighed in, completely naked, of course.
8. Weigh yourself after a haircut, this is good for at
least half a pound of hair (hopefully).
9. Exhale with all your might BEFORE stepping onto the scale
(air has to weigh something, right?)
10. Start out with just one foot on the scale, then holding
onto the towel rack in front of you, slowly edge your other
foot on and slowly let off of the rack. Admittedly, this
takes time, but it's worth it. You will weigh at least two
pounds less than if you'd stepped on normally.
