It Can't Tell Me Who I Am

For years I have given an inanimate object a crazy amount of power over me. 

It would determine my mood for the day, my self esteem, my self talk. 

It would often, so often, make me feel like a worthless failure, and I was shockingly easy to convince.

Well, I've gotten stronger. 

I'm physically stronger, mentally stronger and emotionally stronger now and I've finally gotten to the point that I can tell the scale to just suck it.

I know what I need to do to continue this path to strength and good health. The number on the scale often doesn't reflect my efforts, my choices, or MOST IMPORTANTLY my value.

It took me too many years to learn this. 

I plan to never forget it!
