Pink Ritas and Lip Gloss

The one thing dieters are told to stay away from are scales. Well I’m here to tell you that you should not be afraid of all scales. Scales can be your friend. Whether you use them as a positive measure of your body weight (like I do) or you use them to measure out food portions, they can be very helpful.

I’m actually in the market for both: a weight scale and a food scale. I have the old school style of both - you know the wheel that turns in the weight scale and then the food scale that has the basket on top of the lever that goes up or down to the right “weight”. While both were cheap and are easy to use I find that they are not exactly accurate each time I use them. I find I’m manually adjusting them just about every use! I think this time around I’m going to go digital. I found some cute (yes I’m such a girl) Escali digital scales which come in fun colors that you can coordinate with your kitchen color scheme. I also like how they have a plate with a lip around the edges to help catch the food as you weigh it. No worries about spillage or seepage over the sides. Escali digital scales also makes weight scales similar to the ones you see at Weight Watchers meetings. Meaning the scale is on the floor but the reader is corded and kept on your counter tops. No worries about bending down and trying to figure out what those digital numbers say. Everything was very reasonably priced so if you are in the market for a new scale or two check into these.
