Define me

I often get wrapped up in the number I see on my bathroom scale. I tend to define myself as a success or a failure depending on that one single number. Here is the truth I can not be defined by a single number. I want to be defined by how useful I am to others, by my ability love hard, by my college education, homeschooling my children, my ability to face my fears and move forward, my marriage (that's right friends. I have been married almost eleven years to a man I love more every single day I know him), I love to craft, I am learning to sew clothes, I am always happy to make something for a friend, I am a poet, I can cook, I am happy. I can not be defined by one single silly number. The scale is a tool that I can use to track my health goals.

My promise is to try and stop beating myself up over the scale. I want you to know that you are not defined by the scale. Your beauty is not a number. It is the way you treat the people around you. You are stronger than you can ever imagine, and braver than you know. You are wonderful all the time.

I hope your day is filled with love and laughter. Be well my friends.
