Disaster on a Scale

This is actually really hard for me to write... I was contemplating on not saying anything but then that's not being honest and I the only person I would really be fooling would be myself... so....

I have 2 scales at home… one a very fancy and digital scale from weight watchers….and my other trusty ‘old school’ scales. The digital ones have always seemingly added about 7lbs/8lbs to my weight but when I get on other scales it never matches my old scales or does it match the fancy scales so I have always just had faith in the scales I have always used. In my mind I think it doesn't really matter what scales you use as long as you use the same scale and they accurately record any loss or gains. However I had to go to doctors the other day and their scales added half a stone to my weight….which made me think….

This morning I had the great idea of getting my new 5kg kettlebell and putting it on both scales to see which one is right and which is wrong and of course my trusty old scales are wrong….the digital ones are right…. the old scales are showing my 5kg weight at 4kg and about 7lbs and the digital scales are showing 5kg and 11lbs... all bang on.. I don't get how my old scales are showing such a weird weight...but I have given up with them and will be putting them away! 

So hello an extra 9lbs over night….the scales this morning showed me a horrible 191lbs - due to this weeks horrendous eating the old scales were showing a gain of about 2/3bs in the 1st place - So a huge 9lbs gain and 9lbs away from my original goal weight of 182lbs... 

Now if I am totally honest it doesn't totally surprise me. When I first started going out with the MAN I was 182lbs and although my old scales said that I was that again I never truly felt it and didn't feel 182lbs...so maybe this is a blessing in disguise and just the push I need to stay focused. I will be sticking to what I am doing at the moment exercise wise and like I said yesterday will be really focusing on my diet... but it's back to trying to get down to 182lbs again...
