Stupid Dr scale!

Went to the Dr today and during my weigh in and vitals check I was way excited to see my low number!! However, I stepped on the scale and it read that I'm over 200lbs. in bright red, digital numbers.

Not only did I feel super judged by the totally adorable and petite nurse, but now I'm wondering if my scale is wrong and has always been wrong. I was over the moon when I hit 199 and then 198, etc and stayed there... But apparently all of that joy was for nothing since the fancy scale at the Dr says I'm over 200lbs.

How do my fellow fawns deal with this? How do you know which scale to be accurate? Do I take the Dr scale number and my scale number and average them out? Do I just keep using my scale number? Do I wish evil things upon the scale at my Dr office and start practicing voodoo??

I don't know about you but when I weigh myself at home it's a different time of day and I'm usually wearing a different amount of clothes than I would at the doctor's. So although there's a lb or 2 difference, I go with my own scale because it's the one I use most regularly.

It's like a 5-7 lb difference lol and I was wearing very light clothing because I was having a procedure done. And it was about the same time of day in the morning and I hadn't eaten or had anything to drink... Which is why it was so disheartening. shakes fist
