A couple weeks before I joined Weight Watchers my son came to me and said “Mom, your scale is 40 pounds light”. I said you are crazy. They can’t be. One or two pounds maybe but not 40 pounds.
He said “I weighed at my friends house and his scales weighed me 40 pounds more than yours.” I was livid. I was already overweight enough. If this was true, I was really more overweight than I realized.
I asked my friend if he knew what his weight was. He said yes about 205. He weighed on my scale and it said 160. OMG. I threw those scales out in the trash that minute.
The next week I joined Weight Watchers and at my first weigh-in their scales weighed me 45 pounds heavier than those old scales I had. I was devastated.
So there I was 160 pounds overweight. Like the 115 pounds I thought I was over wasn’t bad enough. I thank God I have now lost 86 of those pounds.
Just had to share that little experience.
Have a great weekend!!
Move, track and stay on point!!
