Guest guest Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 You know, Tilley, I like this. "I don't ever want to have a number attached to me again." I haven't thrown my scale out because, in a way, I want to have the option to use it.... maybe kind of like having "junk food" in the house. I can have it if I want to but I don't have to. I haven't weighed myself since the beginning of December and after a few days of angst I don't miss it at all.I'm planning a backpacking trip and had been planning to get a kitchen scale, just to see which sweater or pair of socks weighs an ounce less, and since reading this sentence in your post I've decided not to do that. I'm going to take the things I like best and cut back on what I don't need, or probably won't need.... just like IE. I've been on the Appalachian Trail a lot and the thing people talk about most, even more than what birds or flowers they saw that day, is the weight of their gear. "Cool stove (tent, pack, water filter, etc.), how much does it weigh?" It'll make jaws drop when I say, "I don't know; it's the one I like."Ellie I no longer have a scale, I don't know for sure, and don't really want ever to have a number attached to me again), Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
