So I went to Meijer's and bought a scale after ages of putting it off. I decided on getting a Weight Watchers digital scale (even though it was $30 and I'm such a cheapass I almost had a heart attack when it came time to swipe my card) because it's identical to the one my mom has and the one we have at work in the break room, so I figured I could have some consistency in the numbers, right?
Heh. Heh. WRONG.
I weighed myself the other day at my mother's house and today at work, getting somewhere around 263-264 both times. Mind you, this was during the daytime and evenings, after I'd eaten and so forth, and so I realize there's bound to be some discrepancies.
However, I look down, and what do I see?
256lbs. O_o
Now, at this point I am mentally dancing a fucking jig, because this weight is positively melting off me and I haven't really done much besides start eating about 6-12 servings of fruits and veggies a day and making them the primary base of my meals. However, part of me is freaking out and going "OMG what if I broke it when I was trying to get the battery cover off? What if I got a defective one? I don't want to take it back T_T"
So yeah. I dunno. I mean, I'm thrilled to see such numbers, and yet...I don't think I could possibly be wearing 7-8 pounds worth of clothing and knee brace at any given point in time (I weighed myself naked this time, no brace). O_o Could I? I'm seriously at a loss.
BRB science experiment - gonna go weigh clothes. T_T
