Jolene is working on something pretty exciting and talking to her about it really got me thinking some things.
While talking to her about being healthy...weight was never mentioned once. We talked about activity and healthy choices. We talked about motivation and the rewards of making those choices.

My life has been ruled by the scale since I was a teenager. It can make or break my day. I'm throwing out the scale!
My focus needs to be on health and not weight. Because weight doesn't tell the entire story!
And it shouldn't determine how I feel about myself.
Starting today....I will work towards making healthy choices and adding more activity to my life. I will reward myself with things other than food. I will hydrate my body with water instead of coffee and soda.
I desire to be HEALTHY and STRONG! Which means....I'm going to have to change my twitter handle. HA!
When we pay attention to our desires, our daily energy levels increase. And embracing your desires will sustain your health! ~ Jolene Park
Connie,
ReplyDeleteThis has struck a nerve with me. Could I please re-post this on my health blog?
I want to join you in on this getting rid of the scale. I too have struggled with this all my life. Today is B-Day and what a great gift I could give myself by getting rid of that thing that can ruin my day. I am tired of it ruling my emotions.
Let me know!! Thank you, Hugs, Bobbi Jo

ReplyDeleteI know a lot of people have opinions on this. Myself I HATE weighing, so I only do it every few weeks. My rule of thumb is as long as I eat well & exercise I don't have to weigh. If I eat crap, then I have to saddle up. Good luck lady!
ReplyDeleteI get hung up on the number too but ultimately I just want to be healthier! I have a target weight but would really be happy at any weight that allows me to have kids, be active, and be a healthy person.
