Ok, so Thursday again. In my house this has now become known as weigh-in day, cue scary music. In the interests of honesty, and avoidance of self-denial, I have been asking the lovely Mr B to check the scales for me before he potters off to work. But this morning I just could not be bothered to get out of bed, let alone stand naked in the FREEZING cold bathroom. So warmly snuggled up in bed I stayed.
Feeling guilty.
Not sleeping.
Thinking it is unlikely possible that I may have lost a pound or two.
More guilt, until just now I figured I may as well get up and just go do it.
And guess what….
I can’t see!
No really, I cannot read the scale. It is all blurry. To read it I have to bend right down, which interestingly makes me lighter, how does that work? But standing up, and I am no giant, not a hope.
Well, what a revelation, I am short-sighted. Confession…I am also an optometrist by trade. How embarrassing.
So, with the help of Mr B’s WAY TOO STRONG glasses I think I weigh about the same, but less if I bend down. Jeez, had better book an eye test.
Love from the fat-one who is soon to be the speccy-fat-one.

LMAO get one of those digital scales with big lit-up numbers, you short-sighted loon. Bless you. *squint* It looks like you’ve lost about 7 stone! So well done!! (PS my eyes are also bad) x
jbmumofone says
OOOOOh No! Don’t want to see it in big digital numbers…then I may have to believe it is true.

jbmumofone says
LOL! Do. Have no idea why it happens but made me feel a tad better! x

Funneeee! Good luck with the belly busting. Our scales are out of battery. And they can stay that way!
jbmumofone says
Too right! How are you getting on with your gorgeous new little girl? Hope she is letting you get SOME sleep! x
Emily (@AMummyToo) says
She’s asleep on the bed next to me right now (I’m sat up with the laptop), but she has that amazing newborn ability to tell the difference between my bed and her cot, so as soon as I try to transfer her so I can get some sleep….wide awake! I’m sure I’ll sleep again one day. Until then I’m surviving on extra helpings of toast and jam through the night, which is why those scales can stay dead!
