How To Lie To The Bathroom Scale 
  
  
 1. Weigh yourself with clothes on, after dinner... as well 
 as in the morning, without clothes, before breakfast, 
 because it's nice to see how much weight you've lost over- 
 night. 
  
 2. Never weigh yourself with wet hair. 
  
 3. When weighing, remove everything, including glasses. In 
 this case, blurred vision is an asset. Don't forget the 
 earrings, these things can weigh at least a pound. 
  
 4. Use cheap scales only, never the medical kind, because 
 they are always five pounds off...to your advantage. 
  
 5. Always go to the bathroom first. 
  
 6. Stand with arms raised, making pressure on the scale lighter. 
  
 7. Don't eat or drink in the morning until AFTER you've 
 weighed in, completely naked, of course. 
  
 8. Weigh yourself after a haircut, this is good for at 
 least half a pound of hair (hopefully). 
  
 9. Exhale with all your might BEFORE stepping onto the 
 scale (air has to weigh something, right?). 
  
 10. Start out with just one foot on the scale, then holding 
 onto the towel rack in front of you, slowly edge your other 
 foot on and slowly let off of the rack. Admittedly, this 
 takes time, but it's worth it. You will weigh at least two 
 pounds less than if you'd stepped on normally.
