In the labs we used to have some scales so accurate that the mass reading would change if you were a heavy breather. Now, no one needs that leve of accuracy, but once you have learnt what it's like to know the mass of something so precisely it's hard to go back.
But when it comes to weighing yourself and lot of people think they don't want the accuracy. They think, "If I don't know exactly what I weight I'll be better off." That's because we all assume an error in the reading will make us seem thinner. But what if that error is... wait for it... a higher reading! You'll look heavier.
That's what you want some digital bathroom scales. You can get some great looking ones from www.scalesetc.com so they will suit whatever your bathroom looks like, and because they are digital you can feel safe that the reading you get is from a well calibrated machine.
And soon you'll be enjoying weighing things as much as this ex-chemist does.
