On Tuesday I went for a walk with my friendWhen I got out of the carShe commented that I had lost weightAnd this girl would noticeas she has an eating disorder tooAll that day get words rang in my earsI went homeAnd asked my mom and sister if I had lost weightThey confirmed that I hadAnd also said I looked very paleMy curiosity was prickedI was dying to know my weight
The next dayI was in the pharmacy collecting my medsAs I waitedI clocked the public weighing scales in the cornerIt was one of those new fangled fancy ones that calculates your BMI etcI was tempted to stand on itBut I didn'tIt was still on my mind though
The next day I was collecting my meds againAnd again As I waitedI spotted weighing scales for sale in the corner of the storeHalf price in the saleI was drawn to them Like a magnet I felt pulled towards itI picked it up It was a Weight Watchers scaleIt calculated your BMIYou percentage water weightAnd fatI was mesmerised A brand new shiny scaleIt was like Christmas all over again
I have to admitI bought the scaleAnd brought it homeI tried to smuggle it in to my houseBut I met my mother in the hallShe looked disappointed to say the leastBut I was on a missionI locked my bedroom doorOpened the boxPlaced it on the wooden floorStrippedAnd stood on itOf course the number meant absolutely nothingAs it was a different scaleAnd I hadn't weighed in a coue of weeksSo I don't know if I lost or gainedClever RubyVery clever
Even though the scale has now taken up residence in my bedroomI've only used it a couple of timesI'm not playing that game any moreNo freakin' wayI had two glorious number free weeksAnd I intend to proceed in the same waySo what to do with the scale?I'm not sure But I'm sure I will think of something.....
