Tipping the Scale

There's a reason why when on a diet I refuse to weigh myself and avoid all scales. It's because I'm a nut case and will actually go mental if I step on one. Therefore for the past few weeks I was careful not to step on the one in the weight room. However, I was relieved to know that when I stepped into my house in NY, we would definitely not have any scales around because we are not a weighing type of family. Then, as I walked into my room, my sanctuary, my place of rest, what awaits me on top of a box but a scale. Of course it would be. My parents used it to weigh the boxes of goodies they sent to the Philippines (Balikbayan boxes). Well I was immediately called to it and I gingerly lifted it up and set it down. Then instead of doing as my mind told me to do, which was "kick it beneath the bed dumbo" I slipped on top and weighed myself. Then that's when the lunacy kicked in. I said "oh no, that can't be right...it's all the clothes I have on. This is ten pounds of jeans I have on" and so every article of clothing came off with each weighing. But now that's not the craziest part. The craziest part is when I actually believe that my glasses are the cause of that extra two pounds and I rush to change so that I can run to the bathroom, wash my hands, pull off my glasses, put on my contacts, tie back my really heavy hair and run back to the room only to take off my clothes and stand on the scale. All that running must have made an impact as I stepped on. I am only 7 pounds from the goal weight. But my stay in New York will fix that! I will, when I return to Massachusetts, be 11 pounds from the goal weight. Aren't you all so proud of me? Thanks to the invention of the scale and super models all women can now believe that their bodies are the ugliest bodies ever made. Sigh. Good thing it's not like that for me! Right? hahahaha. Oh god I've gone crazy nut ball. Now I will use the track and pray that I burn off the calories from breakfast, dinner from last night and the previous carb attack I had over the weekend. Yay to good body image!
Have a good day all!!
