Wonderful. But you missed out a few: - Forgot to cut toenails; - Cat was nearby, sure to have stepped on the scales behind me without my noticing; - Hair's grown loads since I last weighed; - Battery must be running low; - Damn scales, need new ones; - Gotta wait till I spend another penny...

Well, here in the frozen north I often gain weight due to all the lotion I have to put on my dry skin. And of course wet hair is heavier than dry hair, which clearly affects the scale reading. Also I might have had a glass of water last night and you know that saying about a pint's a pound - maybe I had a few pints. But seriously, thanks for this post - I'm going to remember the Voodoo witch-lady in New Orleans, I bet I too have honked her off.
OMG! I do this!!! LOL!!! "Stepped on scale left foot first instead of right foot first." I have to step on with the right foot or I do it again! LOL!!!
Oh yeah! All of these, well most of them. Sea mist definitely causes problems and then the sun comes out and the scales can't be bothered getting things right when they're hot and cranky.
"lungs were full of heavy, heavy oxygen"...CRAP! THAT'S what I've been doing wrong! :o
ReplyDeleteHoly crap thats funny, next time I weigh-in ill keep this in mind!
