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.
