Another round of weight foolishness
We are doing a weight loss challenge at work. I was on the committee and it got way out of hand real quick and became something that people would win actual money for losing the most weight. We had to pay to be involved and I agreed to pay because we used part of the money to buy scales for three different places.
So, I weighed at home this morning (216 sans clothes) and at 220.2 here at work for my official weight. I have disqualified myself from winning because I am collecting the data and building the spreadsheet to tally everything. I don't have much integrity and I would hate to have the little I actually have to be challenged over a few bucks. Now, sex, drugs or rock and roll would be no problem because I have no integrity when it comes to those things.
Having now tracked mine since early 2011, I find the whole thing with making your weight a secret a bit absurd. I mean, I know some people are very private and I respect that. But, if you can see, you can make a reasonable guess as to what someone weighs. More importantly, knowing it exactly in no way changes the way a person looks.
