"Get Off The Scale!
You are beautiful.
Your beauty, just
like your capacity for life, happiness, and success, is immeasurable.
Day after day, countless people across the globe get on a scale in
search of validation of beauty and social acceptance.
Get off the
scale! I have yet to see a scale that can tell you how enchanting your
eyes are.
I have yet to see a scale that can show you how wonderful your
hair looks when the sun shines its glorious rays on it.
I have yet to
see a scale that can thank you for your compassion, sense of humor, and
contagious smile.
Get off the scale because I have yet to see one that
can admire you for your perseverance when challenged in life.
It’s
true, the scale 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
scale more power than it has earned. Take note of the number, then get
off the scale and live your life.
You are beautiful!”
