Scales Are For Fish

How many times have you stepped on the scale and been devastated by the number you see? You wallow in sorrow, rethinking every food choice you’ve made for the past week.

You begin to justify: well I’m bloated from my period, well it’s the end of the day and I’ve already eaten everything for today, maybe I need to poop, that you have no control. You decide that this number dictates your mood, your worth.

Have you ever had the exact opposite experience? You step on the scale and become overjoyed by the number you see. You become excited, feeling that because of this number you are awesome, you are beautiful, you are more valuable, more desirable, in control of your life.

The truth is you don’t have control in either of these situations: you are letting a NUMBER dictate your value. YOU decide your value, the scale does not.
