Ah, the sledgehammer story! Weighing machines are a bit like computers. Garbage in, garbage out.
Comfort eating has a great deal to answer for. Another anecdote delivered with your own brand of self-deprecating humour.

Comment from AnnaLinda
Yeah, every time I step on the scale I wonder why I allow it to live on. It tells me my % body fat, reminds me how 2 years ago when I walked an average of 5 miles a day and swam 50 lengths I was 25 lbs less.. which is 20 more than when I was in my 40's and 65 pounds more than when I graduated from high school. Still wear a size 10. Now, you now they changed something there lol.
You forgot to mention how tall you are. Haha.
So what, you are/we're a runner. Are now a walker and esteemed writer.
Your buddy must have all his weight below the waist.

Comment from amahra
This writing was so funny. Tipping the scale at 356 over ten years ago, I know all the steps to the weight-gain-boogie. Ok, he throws it down the stairs and attacks it with a hammer? lol

Comment from Susan Larson
What a hilarious read! It's really hard to figure what our bodies will do despite what we do or try to do with them. During the pandemic when everyone else was gaining weight, I lost ten pounds doing nothing. The loss showed up both at home and the doctor's office. Go figure.

Knowing that you sometimes add a little flourish to your stories, I am wondering, did he really throw it down the stairs? Sounds like a not-too-nice guy and ergo you divorced him. The saga of your weight gain and then loss was written in a very interesting manner, as usual.

Comment from barbara.wilkey
LOL I actually prefer my weight in Kg because it registers what I want to weigh and I pretend it's in pounds. LOL My husband has sworn the scale wasn't accurate. He gained weight each time I was pregnant and I was pregnant 5 times. LOL Thank you for sharing.

I love your irreverent voice in your writing. My vice has always been the dreaded pop, or soda, or soda pop? Whatever you call it, it's my number one killer. Great work here, thanks for sharing. Later daze.

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
In consideration of the act taken to correct the scales, I'm inclined to believe that is an effective. I compare that to moving if one doesn't like the mail they're getting. Let the post office find 'em. That will never happen.

You bet.
Comment from Ric Myworld
Sounds like "Dick" was the perfect moniker for your ex, his real name or not. I bet all he really needed to put him back in line was a good old-fashioned, country boy ass whooping. And yes, I spelled it as I intended. Thanks for sharing.
