my scale has to be broke

I think I'm going to have to break down and buy another scale today - I seriously think my kids broke it. Yesterday, I got on in the morning and it said I gained the 7 lbs I lost these past two weeks. I was absolutely devastated and started crying. But, the rational part of me took over - woah dummy, you couldn't have gained 7 lbs because you haven't gone off your plan and you would have had to consumed approx 25,000 extra calories, which I know I didn't do - (maybe a 1000 extra)......and I don't believe I am "sleep-snacking" as I don't find any evidence of that in the morning.  So, after doing my daily hike and doing the elliptical yesterday, I got on it this morning, it said I had lost 4 extra pounds. So there was an 11 lb difference in yesterday and today. So...... I think it's broke... I really don't want to go buy another one tho. I'm scared the new one is going to say I weigh more than I thought I did. I know it's stupid, but I'm seriously scared..... I'm going to have to go to therapy, *lmao*

That reminds me of the time I stepped on the scales and the switch was switched over to Kilograms instead og pounds. I stepped on it...and I was like WHAT! I goes uh mom...I just lost over 100 pounds over night....and I laughed. She goes it's probably switched over. I was happy for the day though lol. So if i need an enlightening I always switch it and go yup thats what I way right there. hahaha.

Shoot, mine can weigh in "stones" and you wind up weighing under 20.  It's enlightening. :)

Okay, me and you are going to scale therapy, you hear me?!?!?!!!?!?!?!?  On Monday I weighed in at 245.  I was so upset I almost cried.  I stepped on the scale on Wednesday morning and I weighed 237.5  Did I REALLY lose 7.5 pounds in two days?? Uh no.   I had stepped on the scale on Saturday before that and I was 237.  On Monday morning I was 245.  Did I REALLY gain 8 pounds in 2 days? Nope. Stop it stop it stop it stop it stop it.  I will do a pinkie swear with you if you do it and we'll both swear not to step on the scale until September 1.  Okay?  Do what you are doing, I'll do what I'm doing, and we'll do this together.  Now I know if you step on the scale, you are too honest to lie to me. The scale is the devil, keep repeating that!!!!!  You are doing SO great.  Don't let numbers dictate the way you feel about yourself!!! Okay?

 

 

Thank you :)  *LOL* I know it has to be broke, b/c my daughter, who just got weighed last week at the dr's office and home at 39 lbs - had "gained" 5 lbs and then "lost" 2. She hasn't eaten differently either. I will probably buy one today and then not weigh again until Sept 1st with you. I'm going to buy one of the weigh****cher ones that calculates body fat as well as weight. That way I have a good starting point.
