I'm Worth How Much?!!

   This, was my weight this morning. I no longer step on the scale every single day, like I did during my year of working my butt off to lose almost 100lbs. And while I encourage people to use the scale as a guide, it needs to be used with care.
Sounds nuts....but because I was already insecure, had no confidence in myself and didn't know who I was....this number became my worth. If it wasn't going down, then I felt like a failure. As a COMPLETE human being...not just in my weight loss!

THIS is JUST a number! Not what I've done to get here, not how I have overcome what I have to get to where I am now and find my own personal happiness! JUST a NUMBER.

If you're reading this and you are allowing the obsession to take over, step back. Write down all of the things you've accomplished in your life or been through that have made you the incredible person you are! Stop stepping on the scale everyday and allowing the number to dictate your life or your day.  YOU are the ONLY thing that can bring about your happiness, and you are worth more than a number on a scale.

Never give up! Continue moving forward in your journey, but do it with love and compassion for yourself.

Happy Hump Day!!
