Neurosis Gone Awry


As I was getting ready this morning, my six-year-old daughter strode purposefully into the bathroom and grabbed the scale from under the bathroom sink.


"I want to see how much I weigh." She announced to me. "Corbie and I went running yesterday."


"Awww, man! I still weigh the same!! I want to LOSE weight!"


After a serious discussion about how she is still growing, she needs to be gaining weight, and besides, if she loses too much weight she has to go back to a baby car seat, I decided that maybe I should limit my freakish OCD love/hate relationship with my scale to AFTER the kids are in bed!


Author's Note: This is not an actual picture of me on the bathroom scale. There is no way I would be caught dead on a bathroom scale in a towel! It's got to add, like, half a pound to your weight!!!
