Did that before I got on the scale. And the damn boots too.

Y'all should watch a woman at a weigh-in sometime. We're hilarious. We remove every single thing on our bodies that could weigh even a fraction of an ounce - hair accessories, earrings, name it. I have a friend (admittedly extreme in this regard) who scrubs the makeup off her face before meeting the scale.

Y'all should watch a woman at a weigh-in sometime

I covered the mighty Loyola U. track teams, both sexes, in my college years. Once the coach of the women's team called me over to chat while they were going thru weekly weigh in. They were clothed normal, I'm guessing because he needed to be there and all. Anyway, I wasn't looking at their weights, but being self-concious, they hid a large hunk of the scale's reading with a piece of tape, and would then peek under it to record the figure. Of course all this silliness just caused us to watch all the more.

One girl, who was in great shape amongst normal women, but not with all the track stars, had a weight that took the needle past the tape. I felt bad for her - didn't know how to tactfully (and truthfully) say she looked fantastic. THe star of the team, who years later finished sixth in the US Olympic marathon tryouts, was such a tiny thang her wieght didn't even make it up to the taped area.
