Several years ago when I was at my heaviest, I absolutely refused to weigh myself for the longest time (denial at its best).
When I renewed my driver’s license, they asked me my height and weight, and I tried to make a modest understating estimate of (read: “lie about”) my weight.
But then, curiosity got the best of me and I decided to weigh myself. My listed weight was 40 pounds less than my actual weight. Thankfully lying about weight on a license isn’t a crime. Or is it!
I renewed it once more about 2 years ago (here it’s every 6 years), and I was still pretending to be the weight listed (even though I certainly wasn’t).
And for some reason, I started making changes in my diet (The Body Mass Index helped motivate me), to try and reach that weight, and surpass it.
About 5 months ago, I finally was at the weight listed on my license. But now I now weigh almost 20 pounds less than the amount, so I’m patiently awaiting the chance to put a truthful weight on my renewed license, and be proud of it.
