The number on the scale, your BMI, or your clothing size -- none of these have any bearing on your worth as a person. We are so much more than just our bodies! A friend of mine recently turned me on to an expression: "You are a spirit driving meat-coated skeleton made from stardust." Consider that your entire existence is a miracle! You have a mind that can think and reason, a heart that love and feel, and a soul that ties all of your parts together as it guides you along your path.
You have the capacity for kindness, humor, love, and creativity. None of these things can be measured with a scale, they can only be felt.
It's understandable to sometimes get caught up in comparing ourselves to society's ridiculous beauty standards. But, when you're having that moment, take another to remember that your existence is a miracle. Love your body for the things it can do. Treat it well and strive for health. The bottom line is that you are more than your body -- you're the whole beautiful package!
