The Scale Will Not Control Me!

I decided to stop weighing myself completely! My doctors already made my Mom get ride of our scale but I would always secretly weigh myself at others houses. But no more. I will not let the number on the scale control me or make me upset. My clothes fit great, I feel awesome, and I don't look any bigger when I look in the mirror and that's all I need to know. I don't need to know exactly what I weigh. I feel so great about this decision. I think that everyone needs to stop weighing themselves. Why put yourself through that emotional pain? The scale has made me mad, it has made me cry, it has ruined my day before, but now it can not because I am not going to let it. My Mom asked me if I wanted to go to doctor Hamilton's to weigh myself and I said no. I don't want to know my weight. I feel great! One more step towards comlete recovery!

Hey Alex!


I just wanted to say that I'm so happy to see you make a huge step in your recovery. You should give yourself a huge pat on the back and take an extra long hot bath (b/c I remember you said you love them ;)).Take care!
