Another interesting experience: Navigating Mom's bathroom scale

I guess that every scale is a bit different when it comes to being able to navigate it in order to know exactly where to place one's feet when preparing to get weighed. For me, I have a talking scale which I find to be just the right size.

There is a bar at the top of the scale that is in the middle of it. I place one foot on each side of the bar and wait seconds to hear the results. I can hear the results in either pounds or kilos.

In the case of Mom's scale, I need to depend on Mom or sighted assistance to get my results. True it is that her scale is quite a bit smaller and there is also a small bar in the middle of the scale at the top of it, but the trick is to place my feet in the correct position or else my weight will not be accurate.

Then Mom also needs to ensure that the scale is on and working before I get onto it. She needs to ensure that the batteries are functioning before we start our weighing session.

Just another scale to learn about.

Not an easy task: Fighting the bulge

I do not think that too many of us would like to admit that we need to fight the bulge. But for me it is not just about fighting the bulge, it is about others telling me that I need to do so.

Yes! I can certainly feel my stomach and know that I need to do something, but Mom is always there to remind me and help me to fight it.  She sees it, she pokes me in the tummy, then she gets to work to help me.

I need to be serious about this! I need to take action and I need to tell myself that it is not just me who feels it! Others are seeing it as well!

My talking bathroom scale

I have come to depend so much on my talking bathroom scale.  I have had it now for many years and sometimes when someone comes to visit me, I will introduce them to it.

For most of the time their reaction is very interesting.  They cannot believe that such a device does indeed exist and that they can actually hear their weight spoken to them.  They marvel at the clarity of the scale's voice and that they can hear it in pounds as well as in kilos.

My bathroom scale is pretty accurate and is a permanent fixture in my bathroom.  I keep it ready to tell me how I am doing with regard to my weight.
