15 Reasons not to own a scale:

1. It doesn't measure how much fat you have.
2. It doesn’t measure how much muscle you have.
3. It's too easy to stub your toe on a scale.
4. It unnecessarily takes up necessary space.
5. It doesn't do much for the room's decor.
6. It increases stress.
7. It can be your best friend and worst enemy within a matter of days.
8. It's unforgiving.
9. The numbers always zoom upwards instead of down.
10. It makes you talk out loud… to no one.
11. A scale tends to make you feel like produce or a piece of meat as soon as you step on it.
12. You have to lose your clothes (and your dignity) if you want an accurate result.
13. You have to starve, dehydrate, and clean out your intestines if you want the 'best' result.
14. For the cost of a good scale, you could go out for a very nice dinner.
15. If I want to see a 3-digit number, I’d rather look a 100 dollar bill in my hand!
