For many years I went through a number of styles: glass, or pebble finish, automated digital, or old-fashioned. As none of them told me the news I wanted to hear, I decided our bathroom floor wasn't level, so it wouldn't matter what I stood on, or what shelf I held on to. (You mean, I'm not meant to do that?)
Last year I bought a jumbo-sized Salter's bathroom scales with a dial in pounds/stones and Kilograms that you can see perfectly easily without leaning like the Tower of Pisa and artificially inflating the poundage. Marvellous. Stable, and enough room on it to bring a friend. I now love my bathroom scales apart from its seriously dull message that I am still incontrovertibly overweight.
I will have mentioned in earlier posts that Dearest has taken to the streets, not in a Mafioso type of way, but rather in an attempt to counteract his sedentary life-style. I have 'til now, turned down his early morning invitation to join him. However, the silent admonishment of the Salter's dial has meant that I too, have to rise and shine.
Much to my surprise, I so enjoyed the invigoration of an early morning stomp yesterday, that I actually walked into town and treated myself to some Kitchen scales.
A friend of mine has given me a recipe for bread, and some healthy energy bars. I felt that the crappy old Weightwatcher scales that I have struggled with for the past ten years would not be up to weighing pounds of flour. So I have treated myself to yet another Salter's product : a most compact scale upon which you can stick any bowl or jug you like. Fantastic. Back-lit too, so I do not have to grapple with reading glasses.
I know I am sounding like a product promotion for Salter's (did I mention the make?).
