An accidental advantage

My old scale was acting up, so I picked up a new one last night. Of course all scales are slightly different, but this one in particular was giving me a headache. The old scale was unreliable, so every morning when I would weigh myself, I'd do so at least twice to get matching numbers before writing anything down. The more times I'd test it to see if the last reading was right, the larger variety of numbers it would give. Finally, after months of it telling me it didn't like me (not working when I'd ask it nicely to), I caved & bought a new one.

Whatcha think?

It's the lazy-man's scale. :)

First of all, I didn't actually buy a toilet seat with a built in scale. But it gives me a chuckle to think of the various ways this could be used. I've never before thought about exactly how much my bladder could hold, but with this neat invention I totally could! Hahaha

Not that I want to, though. :oP

So the new scale likes me & said my weight loss is up & over 10 pounds now. Not that I agree with it, but I sure do love it & plan to talk much nicer to it than my last POC. So, I'm back in the 240's now & plan on having another small loss in the morning.

With the hcg protocol, you are required to weigh in every day. Normally, this would lead to disappointment & discouragement, but with this protocol you actually see the results your efforts give every single morning! I LOVE weighing in every morning (unless I'm a big cheater, then I can expect a gain). It helps keep me on track.

The very low calorie diet only consists of 500 calories per day, so I need as much encouragement from my scale as possible. For those of you who aren't familiar with this protocol, yes, I said 500 calories per day. But the amazing thing about this is you actually don't feel hungry. I honestly feel like I'm eating nearly all day. My biggest struggle is in my head, not in my stomach, which is incredibly helpful. The lack of hunger is a side effect of the hcg.

With such a low calorie diet, you would expect not only hunger, but also lethargy, headaches, & various other forms of unease. When I don't feel well, I'm such a grump. Any one of my family members can attest to the fact that I'm can get really ugly when I don't feel well. With this protocol, I feel so much better than when I'm not on it.

With the daily losses & general feelings of well-being, plus a few other bonuses I'll get in to at a later time, I would recommend this protocol to anyone!
