I used to really struggle with what the number on the scale did to me! I hardly ever felt satisfied after stepping on the scale, and even if I did, it was a short-term satisfaction. THANKFULLY - that was years ago and I have learned many ways to deal with my thoughts. I have never felt healthier... and I don't even weigh myself anymore. The numbers don't have power over me!

I am at a point where I can't have a scale in my house anymore- I gave it to my therapist when I came home from treatment. That number would dictate the rest of my day- what I could or couldn't eat, how long I would have to be on the treadmill, if I was a good person (all though that thought was not there long) or a bad person. I still struggle when I am at friends/families houses who have scales, I am not strong enough to resist them but I do way backwards at doctors offices. I have a pretty good idea of my weight and have been having a harder time accepting it- logically I know it means I am healthy and taking care of myself but Ed still tells me I am a failure for letting it go up so much.

It makes me feel like I'm dying, even if it's gone down. I just can't handle it. I feel like it grows everytime and it's mocking me.

it tells me if I'm going to be happy or not.

the number on the scale decides what i will and will not eat. it will decide how i feel for the day. it makes me feel fat, like a faliure, and ugly. it reminds me that i am unloved. it decides how many miles i run... it ruins me.
