Make believe Scales 😔

[EmTee]

Hi All🙂

Haven't posted for a while but have been encouraged by the comments regularly.

Recently weighed myself on my sister's scales and allowed myself to believe the results - surprisingly I had lost some weight without really trying. I actually wondered if my GPs advice of eating breakfast regardless of how ill I was afterwards might actually be working, my sleep had improved which had also been a plus, the same GP said my weight gain was linked to my sleep deprivation.

Have to admit it felt nice! Until I went to an appointment last week and got on the scales. Turned out my sister's scales were out by 4 STONES!! 😑

Oh my, that's quite an inaccurate scale!


I see you haven’t posted for a while, so I thought I'd share some key reminders. 😄

I don't think you can have gained 4 stone without realizing! The scales are wrong somewhere! You're better off using a tape measure to see progress tbh.. A "thin" person could still have too much body fat for their weight. The scales aren't the whole picture at all. So don't panic 🙂

Thanks for that mama2nana🙂 good tip about the tape measure🙂

Sounds similar to my scales EmTee, if I put them on carpet,I love the reading even it is 5 stone out, how I wish 🤗 you never know dreams can come true 🧞‍♂️ until then we'll stick to the rabbit food 😄 xx
