There’s nothing like the panic of spending a weekend away where you eat kind of badly and stepping on the scale and have it read “ERROR.”  You have a digital scale, so that means that you need to weigh more than 999.99 pounds to make it malfunction like that.  You might yell out, “It was just a bag of Hint of Lime Tostitos and a few brownies…and maybe a Cadbury egg, which barely counts as a treat because it’s kind of mandatory to eat as many of those as you can while they’re in stores!  That’s not 800-something pounds worth of food, is it?”  And then, right before the tears come, you realize that you didn’t wait long enough when you tapped the scale before standing on it and you do it again, right time time.  You’ve never been happier about gaining .7 pounds in your life.
