My doctor’s scales weigh me heavier too. Once when I knew I had lost weight I stepped on the scales at the clinic and it was way high. I just stood staring it and then the nurse giggled…she had her foot on the scales. I don’t know why people are always pickin’ on me.

When I was scrolling through here, when I first read the title of this one, what I thought it said was “Mrs. DiFranco gets shot at the grocery store by Carl D’Agostino”. Good to know that was a misunderstanding.
And I have the same thoughts as her whenever I eat a tortilla chip. I can eat a bag of cookies and lose weight, but I eat one tortilla chip, and I gain a pound.

I bet she’d see a real improvement in the numbers if she put that purse down. (spoken by someone – me – who just opted for a really small purse to reduce the weight I’d been carrying because of it).

Well you seem to be on the way to successful weight loss. My problem is that the scale at my regular doctor and that of my cardiologist are 10 pounds over every other scale in the city. I think these two guys have a conspiracy going to keep me using their services for non existent problems.

Funny how that works. I thought I was just being paranoid when I suspected my doctor’s scales of behaving the same way.

Then of course there’s the 25% bread crumbs added. Most people do that and think it is part of the recipe. Well it is but in rural poor Sicily the bread was added to “stretch” the meat as meat was too expensive and a rare part of many meals for the peasants.
