TODAYS EXPERIENCE.... Well my day didn’t start off very well at all today. I jumped on the scales only to discover that I havent had a loss for 2 weeks. Last week I thought it may have been because the week before I had a pretty big loss and this week I have absolutely no idea. Ive increased the exercise because Ive been walking with Luke (in addition to my exercise) and due to the fact that I didnt have a loss last week, Ive been really, really strict with my eating. My only thought is that, on Tuesday I had lunch with a friend and probably didnt eat the healthiest option on the menu (which, because it was so rich and greasy didnt stay down anyhow) and had a can of coke zero (which I havent had for yonks). I wasn’t happy. With only 2.5kg to go in 3 weeks, I felt like I wasn’t going to make it to the next goal on time, which in turn made me feel like I had failed myself. That’s how quickly my thinking changed. On Monday, I was pumped and confident that I would get to that next goal easily. My first course of action was to get Luke to hide the scales (out of sight out of mind!) Secondly I turned to Michelle and I was able to “talk” this through and now I feel so much better. I just have to remember that my worth and true value aren’t determined by the scales. Yeah sure, they were making me feel good about myself when the number was going down, but when it stopped, I felt awful about myself. How disappointing would it be for me to get disheartened and throw in the towel all because the scales told me that I failed. I’m not just getting rid of weight, I’m moving towards health inside and out. Its not all about focusing on that number on a scale, it is so much more. You are beautiful. Your beauty, just like your capacity for life, happiness, and success, is immeasurable. Get off the scales! I am yet to see a set of scales that can tell you how enchanting your eyes are. I am yet to see a set of scales that can show you how wonderful your hair looks when the sun shines its glorious rays on it. I am yet to see a set of scales that can thank you for your compassion, sense of humour, your contagious laugh and smile. Get off the scales because I am yet to see a set that can admire you for your perseverance when challenged in life. It’s true the scales can only give you a numerical reflection of your relationship with gravity. That’s it. It cannot measure beauty, talent, purpose, life force, possibility, strength, or love. Don’t give the scales more power than it has earned. Get off the scales and live your life. You are beautiful!
