So lately I've been super pissed with the scale we have atm (non digital - inaccurate)
And I want to buy one for myself but obviously need to hide it really well!! Where do you guys hide yours, any suggestions?

Jesus! why do y'all hide your scales? It's not like weighing yourself is unusual. Hiding it just makes it out to be wrong.

Just put in an old suitcase. Large handbag or the like.
I've always wondered this. My sister and i have one in the bathroom we share. I guess i could understand it if people knew about your ed though.

My parents took the scale out of the bathroom after they found out I had an eating disorder last year as well as found and confiscated my personal scale I kept on a shelf in my closet. I have a good reason to hide mine but if you don't have to hide it then don't obviously. I rotate where I keep mine. There is a slit in the side of my box spring under my mattress and I can stuff it in there or I keep it in different drawers in my one of my dressers. I also stash it between my beds headboard and the wall or keep it in one of my pillowcases. I change it up a lot because of my family and boyfriend.

Some of us have to because people are suspicious. I for one live with my parents and they threw away the scale because they caught on to me when I'd take it out every night in the bathroom and it made a sound. I bought my own and hid it underneath my closet. Closet is integrated into the wall and it has a loose bottom layer/shelf sort of that I can lift off and underneath there's just floor. that's where my scale went and it works lol.
