Forget the Number on the Scale

Define your week by obedience, not by a number on the scale…

I stepped on the scale…clothes stripped off, first thing in the morning, after using the bathroom of course as that wouldn’t be a true measure of my weight…who else does this? 😀

I even tossed the ponytail holder to the side as that would make a huge difference!

I held my breath…

Not a single pound! AH!

Have you ever felt this?

It really got me thinking.

Why do the numbers on the scale matter so much?

What if I shifted my focus.

How did I do this week…

• Did I overindulge to fill emotions?
• Did I work on having consistent sleep?
• Did I move my body and exercise regularly?
• Did I handle my emotions by going to God instead of food?

Before I stepped on the scale, would I have said I had a successful week and effort towards living a healthier life?

If the answer is yes, then shake that scale number off and keep going!

What is more important…progress.

It is so easy to get laser-focused on the numbers but rather let’s be a girl who can step on the scale and see the numbers as how much your body weighs, not as an indication of your self-worth.

So my goal for you this week, when a negative comment starts lurking, I want you to think:

• Are you true?
• Are you beneficial?
• Are you necessary?

If the answer is no, don’t let that comment into our hearts.

Let’s shift the motivation away from the numbers on the scale but rather the delight in obedience.

More so…forget the scale! Measure progress based on how you are feeling about yourself, how are your jeans fitting, do you have more energy…I would argue that these measurements mean more.

Here to support!
