New Weight Scale is stupid + also I hate it.

There is GOOD news about my new weight scale.

Santa doesn’t want me to be fat, so he brought me a new weight scale for Christmas. Every morning I remind myself how much Santa loves me by checking out my weight. My poundage has been decreasing in small increments since the New Year began.

 

My new weight scale is epic because it has bells and whistles. It totally calculates your body fat, water mass, bone mass, muscle mass… all that junk. ooo-la-la, quite the fancy-pants gift, yes?

 

There is BAD news about my new weight scale.

Santa doesn’t want me to be fat, so he brought me a new weight scale for Christmas.

((( Santa is a fat bastard and therefore this act of cruelty makes him a fat hypocrite. )))

 

Every morning I remind myself how much Santa loves me by checking out my weight.

((( “LOVE”. Bwahaha! Yeah, that Santa. He is totally loving me. I’ma punch that fat fucker in the wiener if he crosses my path between now and Christmas next. )))

 

My poundage has been decreasing in small increments since the New Year began.

((( Let us not forget that, for anyone with half a bit of sense, the New Year only began January 7, since that’s the first Monday of 2013. So we’re really only talking five days. Which means this could totally be some of that fluctuating water weight shit. )))

 

This new weight scale is epic because it has bells and whistles.

((( “Bells and whistles” on electronic items actually means “500-krillion pages of unreadable instructions of a how-to user’s manual written in Korean.” And it also actually means “When the battery dies, you will die with it,” the essence of which translates to, “This shit is way more complicated than necessary, hahaha, GOTCHA.” )))

 

It totally calculates your body fat, water mass, bone mass, muscle mass… all that junk.

((( Turns out, unless I add 4 inches to my height, my new weight scale responds with an “error” message because apparently I’m too short to have this much fat. I mean, WT-flying-F? You’re telling me this piece of shit electronic asshole has never before come across a woman who is only 5’3” and needs to lose 50 pounds? I call BULLSHIT. )))

 

ooo-la-la, quite the fancy-pants gift, yes?

((( I’m not using all the fucking bells and whistles because they are hurtful and mean. So this gift is stupid and I hate it. And also? FUCK. That’s what. )))

 

There is FUNNY news about my new weight scale.

1. It’s made of glass. As in, “Here, fat fuckers. Stand on this to weigh yourselves. But WATCH IT! Because it’s made of glass. So, you know, try not to be fat while you’re standing on it.”

2. In order to receive the extra information about your fatness, you’re expected to step on these metal strips that apparently send mild electric shocks coursing through your body. Seriously, I’m not making this up. The instructions are clear on two points:

(a) The bottoms of your feet should be damp so as to better conduct the electricity that zaps your fat counters.

 

(b) DO NOT step on that shit if you have some kind of pace maker or any other electrical junk that keeps you, like, living.

 

Remember just then when I said “There is FUNNY news about my new weight scale”?

I meant to say “terrifying”, not “funny.” My bad. It’s probably the fear of my new weight scale that has made me drop two pounds this week, not the fact that I have been going on two-mile walks or cutting back on the Doritos.

 

And, of course, by “cutting back on the Doritos”, I meant to say “eating Twizzlers instead”.

Well that makes me glad I bought the cheap 8 dollar scale that only weighs you one way and has to be recalibrated every time you use it. Good news is, I found out recently that using the scale on a carpeted floor effects its accuracy, so I took it down to the kitchen and discovered that I'm ten pounds lighter than I thought I was. Of course you didn't want to hear that.

Hey, Marjorie --- so fuck you for that! LMAO! Nah, I'm glad at least one of us is having better luck, even if it's only because you didn't know that scales need a flat surface. I kinda wish now that Santa had gone the cheap-ass route, cuz I've decided I don't need to learn how to use all the bells-n-whistles. Mostly because I'm too scared they'll tell me I have breast cancer or something.

OMG, so funny! You were so looking forward to that scale! I don't even want to know my bone mass since I drank so many Cokes for so many years all day long. I probably have NO bone mass. And lately, I've been eating horribly! Guess what wasn't my resolution. And I finally made it back into the gym this week. I'm not trying to lose weight, but I am trying to build bone mass. . . . . .

LMAO, Michelle, I can't believe you remember how badly I wanted that scale! OMG, that makes me laugh BAD!!! FYI, according to the know-it-alls, Coke eats rust, which means that your bones are rust free. I thought you'd be glad to know this. The bossy-butts don't ever mention anything about coke eating bones, so I'ma go out on a limb + say your bone mass is just fine. Of course, you're welcome to try out electrocution via my scale to find out for sure...

Wow, Santa is a dick! Wait, I can say that on your blog, right? If I was you I'd shove that scale right up Santa's jolly old pipe. Yes, I have that same super duper asshole scale too. Except it keeps going up. For like a year, it goes up. Oh, except my age, which you have to re-enter every year but I forgot to do for about 5 years so my scale still thinks I'm younger which also pisses me off because if it's going to lie to me, it may as well tell me I look great in those pants. Just so you know, I laughed myself stupid reading this, no offense to your pain. I think my scale would make a really good frisbee. I'll toss west and you toss east and maybe they'll meet in the middle :)

If you can't call Santa a dick on my blog, then someone needs to call the fucking police, cuz it means I've been jacked. Tell me when this scale-tossing event is to take place + I shall join the fun. Gotta wait till this rain stops though, or else the wind will slow our chances of them meeting up. That would be a tragedy, amirite? lolz!
