Is it because my mass has redistributed itself in a way that lowers my center of gravity? Would that affect my weight at all? I presume weight is a measure of the earth's gravitational pull on my mass against the springs in a scale. Also, the farther you are from an object, the less its gravity affects you (and the less my gravity affects it.) But if my center of mass moves closer to the scale, then in theory I could weigh more. But shouldn't such movements result in only imperceptible weight increases? ??
