Re: The scale is NOT omnipotent!

[Guest guest]

awesome, !

 

I realized today how powerful I have made the scale in my past...it could make or break my diet, my outlook...my joy....and lead me to lots of " binge eating " for " it didn't matter anyway. " I looked at it shoved in the corner of my bathroom, " safely " out of sight today...and just laughed. Why did I let it have such power over me? All of sudden it all was crystal clear. I swallowed my misgivings and stepped on, just to reclaim it as a neutral tool and reclaim me, separate from it. I saw the number and I didn't need to let it affect me, one way or the other. It is what it is, and I am focused on more important things with IE. I don't have to be afraid of the scale, and I don't have to savor it. It is a simple tool.

This has been an awesome experience and I just had to share it with all of you. You inspire me every day to keep " IEing " ! I actually don't feel very " good " at it (that's my embedded diet talk that wants me to follow all IE principles religiously as I did past diets), but I do have clarity IE is the peace for my present and future, so I keep trying in my baby steps.

Thanks for listening tonight.
