Seize the moment. Remember all those women on the 'Titanic' who waved off the dessert cart.

My daily moment with the scale. Will it be a good day or not? Silly how a number can make or break my mood. I'm not and never have been fat but I have had this ongoing battle with my weight since I was fifteen. Is that even possible? Women that say, "Oh, I love my body!" I just don't believe them. I remember thinking that when I reach a certain number on the scale, then I would be happy. This never worked out in the past so I just ended up gaining the weight back. The truth about this whole thing is that I am happy so the number on the scale should have no impact on my mood or my day at all. It should just be a number that I file away in that file cabinet of random facts about myself. The cabinet that I store in the back of the garage I call my mind. Well, this is an epiphany of sorts...I am happy so what I weigh has no bearing on it!
Tomorrow and the next day and the day after that I can face my scale and say, "Oh look today I weigh 130" and the scale will reply "No weigh!"..."Weigh", I'll throw right back at him, and go on about the business of another perfect day!
