The scale is NOT omnipotent!

[Guest guest]

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.
