I decided to go to the grocery store to pick up a few minor groceries because tomorrow is Sunday, and I needed to get food for school on Monday.  When I walked in the door, off to the left, there is one of those big scales.  So, I started to think.  Since my scale at home will not register weight if it is over 365 lbs, I could get on this big scale here, and it should be able to weigh me because it is not digital.  So, as I started to pass the scale, there was a family there weighing themselves.  So, I decided to go on into the store and buy my groceries, and I can do it on the way out.  So, that is what I did.  On the way out, there were people nearby, and I didn’t want them to see how much I actually weighed.  On the way out, I was headed to the scale, but a lady pushed her way in front of me and got on the scale and weighed herself and her child.  So, needless to say, I decided to just forget it.

I went out to the car and loaded my groceries in.  I didn’t want to leave my shopping cart out in the parking lot (This is normal for me.)  It was past closing, so I took the cart back up to the store and put it back inside.  I started to pass the scale on the way out, and there was no one there, so I quickly got up on the scale, and it was as if the scale was saying:  “GET OFF OF ME!  YOU KNOW YOU ARE TOO BIG TO BE ALL UP ON ME LIKE THAT!  THIS IS A NO TRESPASSING ZONE FOR PEOPLE THAT WEIGH MORE THAN 315LBS!!!!!  I quickly got off the scale because the little hand was banging on the number 315. 

The scale went up to 300, but I figured that because it had a big round face and a nice big platform to stand on that the hands would be able to go on around until it got to my correct weight.  NOT SO!  I was pretty embarrassed.  No one actually saw what was going on, but I was was still pretty embarrassed.  Note to self….Do not weigh yourself on grocery store scales.  They definitely cannot handle my bulk.
