I noticed today that everytime I step on my bathroom scale, I talk to it!

Anyone else do this? What do you say?

Or maybe I'm just losing my mind along with the pounds!!

Yeah, I tell it to F off almost every day Tongue out.  Like it's really the one to blame - makes me feel better though!!

Hell no!  I swear at my scale most of the time, then beg for forgiveness and hopefully it will have accepted my apology by then.

Oh no, I don't want to make it mad.

I went on vacation in Charleston S.C. acouple years ago and a 5 star hotel had a scale in the bathroom! ON Vacaton! I kept putting it in the hallway and the maid kept bringing it back in. I finally put it in a closet. You would think for all the money I was paying they would taken the thing away.

Of course, I coax it until it stops

No, but I yell at it. :D

The real question is, does it talk back?

Just when I think its lying and I give it the old, "Whatever."

yes, but for some reason, only when no one else is around Wink

I give it a dirty look from time to time, but when I'm on it I'm always too busy holding my breath.

lmao, me too!

Wait, how much does breath weigh?  jk

Lol, sticksandberries, I say let's quit breathing!  I think we could lose faster.  (I hope I'm not the only person with a really sick sense of humor around here.)

 trust me, you're not!

Mine usually gets one word and that word would be "seriously?!" because I've used that in both good and bad situations.

Yeah, its usually "Be nice to me," and then when its not, I growl and curse at it.

Nope - haven't seen it in over 8 months, and even when I did still use it regularly I saw no need to vocally acknowledge such an evil device.  Not letting it control you eats away at what's left of it's soul, so I do take great pleasure in that.  Wink

Hmmm, oddly, though i talk to a number of "inanimate" objects, the scale isn't one of them.

Definitely.  It's usually "are you effing kidding me?"  Then I kick it when I get off.  Unless it's been nice, then I say "Yeah!"

yeah! i punch it sometimesCool

I don't talk to mine, but I do step on it once, then brush my teeth and step on it again, then get dressed for the day and step on it again hoping it will magically change a lot. It never does.

LOL! Nice:)

How can I make walking fun?

You have to find a way to make exercise fun or else you won't do it. If you walk indoors on a treadmill, I recommend moving outdoors into the fresh air... Read more
