 Scale got you down? Remember, you are not that number on the scale- you are so much more than that! Just like when we go somewhere and dislike being called by a number, we should dislike defining ourselves by a number. The scale can be a great and useful tool but if you find yourself thinking about the number on the scale often, you may want to try and find ways to minimize this way of thinking. It should not overtake different aspects of your life. If you need to eat better, or exercise more, fine. But please, take some time to appreciate yourself and smile for yourself. You deserve it and you deserve to be happy. You are so much more than that scale. Applaud your efforts for working to eat healthier and get in better shape. Focus on those things first and foremost. Maybe it's better for you to weigh yourself once per week, once a month, or not at all. Sometimes how our clothes fit can be a better indicator for some individuals. In addition, do not try and look like those supermodels! Their skinniness is very unrealistic. Please focus on a healthier lifestyle instead. You can do it! |
