Ok...kinda funnny but... I went to the doctor this morning for what I thought was a sinus infection. So, they ask me to step on the scale, and I did...backwards. Told them I truly didnt want to know what theirs said because on mine I'd lost 42 pounds (lost 10 before starting atkins). If their scale said I weighed 5 or 10 more than mine...I just frankly dont need to know about it. I know the loss would still be 42 pounds...but I didnt need to deal with the psycholigical ramifications of picturing my weight any higher than I do right now. I've worked too hard and done too well to throw myself a meaningless curve ball. They just laughed and said "well done." Might be kinda vain but, such is life. Thought maybe someone else might want to use this nifty little trick to avoid a potentially demotivating and unneccessary event.
