So.... I don't own a scale. And I can't
really justify buying one since I'm leaving the country in two
months. The last time I weighed myself was at Christmas when I was at
my parents' place, and I guess the next time will be when I see them
again in two months. But I want to be able to track some kind of
progress until then, so here's my brilliant idea: dental floss. I
measured my waist with dental floss, and cut it so it's exactly the
circumference of my waist. Every Saturday I'll pull out that piece of
floss and if my waist has gotten smaller, I'll be able to cut the
extra off. I decided against using a measuring tape, in case the
measurement is too discouraging. Instead, I'll just track whatever
progress I make.
I suppose this idea would work with
string or yarn or anything, but I happened to be staring at my
medicine cabinet when the idea occurred to me, so, there you go.
Floss can be cut, but it cannot/will
not/cannot grow longer!
