Get OFF the scale!!

For those of you who are constantly finding yourself getting on the scale every waken minute you have available (like I am guilty of doing) This is such an inspiring and beautiful quote! 


I came across this quote by Steve Maraboli while google searching inspiration quotes about weight loss. Since this picture is sort of hard to read I will recite the quote below. 

“Get Off The Scale! 
You are beautiful. Your beauty, just like your capacity for life, happiness, and success, is immeasurable. Day after day, countless people across the globe get on a scale in search of validation of beauty and social acceptance. 

Get off the scale! I have yet to see a scale that can tell you how enchanting your eyes are. I have yet to see a scale that can show you how wonderful your hair looks when the sun shines its glorious rays on it. I have yet to see a scale that can thank you for your compassion, sense of humor, and contagious smile. Get off the scale because I have yet to see one that can admire you for your perseverance when challenged in life. 

It’s true, the scale can only give you a numerical reflection of your relationship with gravity. That’s it. It cannot measure beauty, talent, purpose, life force, possibility, strength, or love. Don’t give the scale more power than it has earned. Take note of the number, then get off the scale and live your life. You are beautiful!” 
― Steve Maraboli 



This quote is so beautiful I wish I could permanently keep it on my scale! Which I am sure there is ways and when I find out one I am totally going to do it. 

So for those of you obsessing over your weight or find yourself frequently jumping on that scale to see if you have shed some pounds. Remember the number that shows isn't nothing compared to beauty both inside and out!

Happy Friday, I hope you all have a beautiful family filled weekend!
