Weight up....Weight down..it is all a game!

Hello there if anyone is out there---

My name is Lori and I am a victim of that nasty little thing with numbers on it--Yes I am talking about the scale-- That damn scale that has for over 20 years dictated how I live my day/life--If I weigh myself and I am up a few lbs watch out--If I am down a few lbs-I love all of God's creation! I have had my share of ups and downs (Pun Intended)

As a 38 year old woman I have struggled with eating disorders for over 20 years and I became very ill 2 years ago and almost lost my life--I have since then been working on recovery for 2 years. In September I completed a 1/2 marathon! Now I never would have been able to complete that if I had not been healthier! Plus I am a mom, wife, friend and sister, doesn't that mean something---YES

I am such a better place now with the exception of the scale-That is a work in progress-
I can weigh myself 20 times a day, maybe more!
It has been a love hate relationship! I suppose you can guess when it was love and when it was hate!

I told my husband that the scale in the bathroom has been around just as long as him! I have to admit he looked at me like he was crazy! I know one of them has to go and it will not be my husband! So on January 5th-(my hubby's bday) I called him on the way home from the gym and told him to hide-Not to throw away because that may be traumatic-I need a proper goodbye and my plan is to smash the hell out of it- Of course there will be pictures etc to celebrate but I am not ready yet.

I have been through this before and usually after a day I bring the scale back to the bathroom closet where we reunite! :)

Well it has been a week and I have not asked for it--I must admit that I go to the gym and weigh myself there-But that is only once and then I leave and live my life-

As I sit here I wonder what I weigh -I did just eat a English muffin with PB & J-But I need to vision a STOP sign that let's me know I need to chill out-

Now I know there are thousands of women and men out there that are weighing themselves right now and are either happy or sad at what that stupid piece of metal is telling you--How do you feel? Let's put a end to the scale and be FREE!!!!

Love ya-
