Weighed-And-See Attitude

Scale:  Welcome back, Jack. I can’t decide if you’re a glutton for punishment or just… well… a regular glutton.

Me: C’mon… let’s get this over with…

Scale: What’s the big hurry? We don’t spend much time together during the week. This is my only chance to tell you what I really think of you…

Me: A number please.

Scale: Oh… so it’s just “Wham, bam, weigh you, ma’am.” Is that how it’s gonna be?

Me: If you don’t mind…

Scale: Let me tell you about today’s specials.

Me: Kill me…

Scale: Today we have your choice of a teeny-weeny loss, a teeny-tiny gain or a biggish gain.

Me:
I know that’s all you’ve been serving up lately, but I was hoping for a little something special this morning.

Scale: A WHOLE POUND DOWN? Damn, Jack! What’s gotten into you?

Me: Less food, I’d say.

Scale: Well, I’ll get you next week.

Me: You don’t understand: I’m not locked in here with you. You’re locked in here with me.

Scale: Tough guy. What’s that even mean anyway?

Me: I dunno. I just heard it in a movie one time.

  1. Great job!

    How much do you have to lose to shut the damn thing up? I've yet to hit that magic number. Thought maybe you'd know.

  4. Yay! Awesome job! I love your 'emotion' section too. An important element we often forget.
