Re: [fast5] Over eleven months and the onslaught of mental illness

 

Dear Everyone,

Many years ago I did a wonderful ritual where I took my scale and very purposefully & deliberately destroyed it and threw it away.  I have never gotten another one and I have never had one iota of regret of leaving behind the world of bathroom scales.  It seems like there are way too many built-in variables with that number anyway (water, muscle, faulty machinery, etc.)  I am not in anyway convinced that the attachment-to-number-on-the-scale in any way helps one's Well-Being.  If you personally feel that it DOES help you in being Authentically Well, then rock on.  But just putting it out there that perhaps you'd be better off on your journey of Total Well-Being by ritually throwing away your scale too.

Wishing each and every one of you Total Well-Being and long-lasting peace with your body.

So now I am back at home for a few days off. The oil patch is waiting for colder weather so things freeze good before more work can proceed. My "sister" says that I look "scrawny". That is totally weird because the scale says that I AM STILL AT ONE HUNDRED AND TEN POUNDS OF WEIGHT LOSS since January 1st. I am not too happy about this. I know I feel different and my clothes are looser. Maybe the scale is screwed. I did buy it at a pawn shop. Hmmmm... I'm not sure what to think.

Keep fasting everyone!
