my scale is broken

I know I need to get serious on getting back my old routine which is my exercise and discipline how I eat. Right now I don’t have the time to do my old routine and the way I eat is not good. I eat way too much. 3 years ago I lost 28 lbs and sad to say I gained all back and more I think. See my scale is broken at this moment hehehe; I just don’t want to see it because I get depress. It’s not helping when I see a friend and telling me I gained so much. Sigh*… I would like to know if any of you friends have taking a diet pills, would love to hear from your experience.
