Your body is amazing
You’re the only person who gets to assign a value to the number on the scale. That’s all it is — a number. It is neither good nor bad. It’s data. It’s telling you how much gravity is pushing down on the scale.
It’s not a judgment unless you let it be.
You are not Fat just like you are not Fingernails. You may have both, but you are *not* them.
This is a reminder that you’re doing the best you can right now with what you have.
Love your imperfect self. Focus on how you feel when you move, when you lift heavy things, when you run fast, and cycle up hills. Your body is amazing for what it does for you.
So the next time you step on the scale or peek in the mirror, remember that your body is incredible. It’s taken you this far.
And in the grand scheme of things, when we reflect on our lives, we won’t remember the silly moments we doubted ourselves after looking at a random number on a machine that doesn’t know anything else about our impact on the world.
When you need a change, answer these:
- What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?
- How do you want the world to be different because you lived in it?
