Would it be weird for me to buy a bathroom scale?!


Question: Would it be weird for me to buy a bathroom scale?
Would it be weird for a 14 year old to buy a scale? Like would the person ringing me up be like wtf? Its not like we don't have a scale at my house cause we do but its in my moms room and she'd be really suspicious if I kept stepping on it so I want to like walk home one day from school and walk into Kmart and buy a scale for me but would that be weird?

Answers:

probably not, i buy wierd things at my local store all the time. sometimes they give you a kinda odd look, but its against their job to say anything so you should totally do it :)



There are enough kids with eating disorders that you would blend right in.

Buying a scale so that you can secretly diet is weird, and it is a serious red flag that you are working on an eating disorder. Unfortunately, the core part of most eating disorders is a strong congnitive bias that makes patients see themselves innaccurately, thinking they need to lose weight when they do not.



not weird. Don't know why you're worried about your mom being suspicious tho. what's weird about stepping on a scale? If you don't want her watching you maybe just borrow it for a while. You can let her know it's private if you need to. Of course it is. Your weight is nobody's business but your own. I wish I needed a scale. Haven't had one for years, but I know, almost to the pound, what I weigh based on looking down, or how my pants fit. Oh - don't weigh every day, it'll drive you nuts. Your weight will naturally vary almost 5 pounds from one part of the day to the next.



I don't thikn it would be weird. If you are being careful with your weight loss. Just don't let it get out of hand. I weigh myself every but jus to let me know. I don't obsess about loosing weight. Please just dont get obsessed but it is fine to keep track of how much you weigh.



The person behind the counter has no business knowing why you are buying the scale...
