I'm a chinese girl.Yesterday I read a sentence that "like a needle climbing up the bathroom scales, the number keeps rising".What's the meaning of it?
Thank you!

The "needle" is like a hand on a clock face. It is a pointer on a dial. It is rising....like my weight. Crying or Very sad

I went to www.google.com and entered "dial scales" in the box.

Funnily enough, on bathroom scales, usually the "needle" or red line is fixed, and the scale with the numbers rotates! Aha!

I just went to my bathroom and checked. My needle goes round---and moves up and up and up.
