I bought a body tape and the mirror got smug

I ordered a cheap body tape after seeing a bunch of comments swear it was the honest one. It arrived Tuesday, and I spent four minutes in the bathroom measuring my waist, hips, and upper arm, then typed the numbers into my notes app like a person expecting a plot twist. The tape was fine.

The annoying part was that it matched my old measurements, while my weight has bounced between 184.6 and 185.2 since the first week of April. I don’t know what I expected — maybe a different tool would tell a different story.

I’m not changing anything yet, but I’m curious whether anyone else buys a gadget secretly hoping it will argue with their old data.
