Here is some ways to check your weight without a scale:
Scale Positioning: You know, you stand on the scale anticipating a decrease in numbers. Well, it doesnt show the numbers youd like to see, so you figure that simply moving it ever so slightly in one direction or another will adjust the numbers in your favor. You continue to re-position the scale until just the right numbers show up!
Time of Day: Everyone knows that your weight is generally at its lowest first thing in the morning. However, just to make matters more interesting, you weigh yourself before going to the bathroom and then after. Ahhhh, an eighth of a pound difference. Someone might get the impression that simply going to the bathroom is an effective means of losing weight. Whatever works, right?
Foot Positioning: You are standing on the scale and the number isnt quite where it should be. First, you move your feet forward. Nope, still not the right number. Hmm, maybe moving them back a bit might get that number where it is supposed to be. With every little shift and adjustment, there is hope that the numbers will reflect a positive change. Oh, wait a minute, gotta take off the socks. They count for at least a couple of extra ounces of weight. And, the dance continues...
Needle Placement: Standing above the scale, you see that the needle is placed just a bit to the left of the zero. Heck, that will add what, another ounce or two to the ideal numbers. So, you move the knob in an attempt to perfectly center the needle over the zero. Somehow it seems impossible to set the needle directly in the center. Why not just go ahead and knock off a pound simply to accommodate the inaccuracy of the needle! We do and, lo and behold, we have lost weight! Yes-s-s-s-ss!
MD’s Scale vs. Home Scale: Ok, so what is it about the doctors office scale? Why do we all seem to weigh ten pounds more on the doctors scale than on our home scale? Why not bring YOUR scale to your next doctors appointment -- just to show who is right and who is wrong when it comes to true weight?!
Sick Weight: How many of you have been excited at the thought of weighing yourself after a nasty bout with the flu? Cmon, everyone has done it. WOW! Check it out, I lost three pounds. Who cares if it meant three days of bonding with the ceramic bowl, a whole three pounds was lost! Yes, illness can bring about all sorts of joy, now, cant it?
Pig-Out Scale: Fess up! After an overindulgent evening at a wedding or birthday, how many of you step on the scale just to see the real damage that was done? Just to reinforce the facts that: yes, we have no self-control and yes, the scale WILL punish us for overdoing it. What a great way to reinforce our lack of discipline!
