Does this scale make me look fat?

Last week I started a diet. Yeah who in their right mind starts a diet in the middle of the holidays. Read my blog, clearly I'm not in my right mind. Day 2 - down four pounds or so I thought. Day 3 - I seemed to be back up. How is that possible when I make frequent visits to the gym and have barely eaten?? Oh its not me it's the scale! Apparently, I weigh various amounts when the scale is placed in various positions on the floor. Awesome! So now I can lose weigh with out even trying! I just need to find that perfectly unbalanced place in the floor where the scale reflects a number less than I really weigh! Think I'll re-start the diet come the new year!
