So many times I have treated my scale as a magic eight ball. "Oh, great scale please tell me am I worthy?! " And I would always find myself wanting because human beings are not meant to be judged by a number on the scale.
It started for me at weight loss camp. Kids lined up as if they were receiving a holy sacrament. We were praised if we lost weight, counseled if we stayed the same or gained. If it was a really big loss, we would all join together in praising that person at the meeting after the weigh in.
It was almost like a church service. slash Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. We would testify as to the people we were before this great transformation and who we were now.
The problem with that is, we are so much more than what we weigh. We are our thoughts, our dreams, our feelings, our very soul. So why do we judge ourselves on an arbitrary number?
