Wa kow! This computerised bathroom scale my bzzz bzzz bzzz man bought home recently has an INCREDIBLY AWESOME (read: stupid annoying) function. Not only can it tell that I’m 52kg, it can also tell that I have 30% body fats! Like I need to know. :roll:
“See! The 30% fats are your oyster omelettes and all your chocolates.” My man said. Much to my chagrin.
Geez, 30% fats? Doesn’t sound too good huh? I know I’ve been gorging myself silly but still, I don’t think I’m exactly FAT fat.
Oh. Wait. A. Minute.
Is that a whopping 30%, a normal 30% or a mere 30%?
Come to think of it, 100% is the ultimate and mine is not even half the mark. Surely 30% isn’t too alarming? I mean how significant is a 10 to 20% difference? And how can I possibly have 0% fats? Won’t I look anorexic then? Yikes! I don’t want!
“I like my woman with some fats. It feels good when I put my arms around her.” So my hairstylist told me recently.
Hmm…I think my husband needs to understand THAT.
Fats are not necessarily bad wat. Boobs are mainly fats.

Butts too are made up of fats, unless you want to make do with a flat bottom.

I have one digital scale like that too….but didn’t dare to measure my fat content leh….. can’t bear to see the reality on the scale.

30% is pretty good I think.. I’ve heard from my friend about such scale but have never really tried it.. I wonder how they actually calculate our body fat..

yup, not fat at all! consider that u gave birth b4, so you’re actually quite slim =) 30% is ok. i think i have 70% body fat LOL

Ha, I don’t care lah. 30% so what? I’ll still eat my chocolate. No stupid weighing scale is going to sow discord between me and my chocolates!!!
Update: Ladies, I just weighed myself and my weight has dropped to 50kg and body fats to 26.4%. Hehehe…lost 2kg just in a matter of days.

Wow, 2kg in 2 days. I think that scale actually motivated you to lose some. But I also don’t think that 50 or 52kg is fat. I don’t have a digital scale. Does it scream “you’re fat?” I hope not.

2kg in 2 days? What did you do? Must jote down in my notebook..

niceheart & Erika: Hey, hey, not 2 days. I took my weight at 52kg sometime last week but posted this entry later. So it’s been about a week. I skipped some dinner and only survived on SNACKS!!!

I am sceptical how acurate this type of machine can be? Purely our weight, it can tell our body fats?!!
Liar!
