"Inner Harvest" Hazelden Meditation Series We sell ourselves short if the scale is our primary source of approval. People with eating disorders spend lots of time getting on and off the scale. When we are obsessed with reaching and maintaining a specific weight, the moving indicator on the scale becomes our judge. Weight okay: we feel good. Weight not okay: we feel terrible. In recovery, we focus on eating the right type and amount of food, and we let our weight take care of itself. We concentrate on following a path toward emotional and spiritual growth that allows us to feel good about ourselves. We have value; we have gifts to give; our self-worth is not dependent on what the scale reports. As our recovery progresses, we cultivate friends among those who value us for our inner assets rather than our outward appearance. We are free to become who we are intended to be, and we enjoy the process of self-discovery. True self-esteem comes from within, rather than from numbers on a scale. * Whatever my weight today, I am a worthwhile person with valuable contributions to make to those around me. |
