Zero scale versus Quantum scale (or none at all?)

I blogged about the Quantum scale previously.  I loved the idea of a scale that just tells you how much weight you are losing rather than the actual number.  For some reason, the numbers just don't suit me.  A day can be ruined just by getting the "wrong" one.  No matter how much I'm told that it's just a number, it doesn't stick.  It always means more...and it's never good enough.
I've tended to lose weight/fat before by focusing more on clothes or measurements until I felt I was in good enough shape to cope with the number.  I'm so out of shape at the moment that I don't even want to look at the tape measure numbers.  I also need to lose a good bit so that it would take weeks before my clothes would feel looser.  It's hard to keep motivated.
The Zero Scale seems like an even better prospect than the Quantum scale.  It has the same idea-tells you how much your weight has changed.  It has the added functions of supporting multiple users too and a guest function which will show the actual (evil) number too.  This sounds far better to me-it's a scale you could continue to use for maintenance once goal was reached.  It also just looks like it's a better product.
I have been super impressed by the customer service they offer.  I emailed to ask about shipping to Canada and got an incredibly speedy response.   The director went to the trouble of investigating it himself and getting back to me.  The customs and shipping bring the price up a lot but I'm still seriously considering the purchase because it's a great idea and I now believe in the company too.  Quantum scale, on the other hand, eventually answered my latest email after many ignored ones.  They're geographically closer, but much further away from my idea of customer care.

Isn't the zero scale pretty?  All nice and shiny?

Meanwhile, I've been back on the "diet" for the past week or so.  I haven't been strict at all really.  It's been more of an easing into it which seems to be working.   I reckoned I could either be really strict and potentially give up, or start moderately and gradually remove things bit by bit.  First steps were switching to salad with chicken for lunch and to raw almonds for snacks.  Continuing in the gym.  More about that later!
