Weight is only one measure of change in a healthy weight loss journey. The physical, emotional, and psychological victories that accompany weight loss are just as important as the numbers on the scale and should be celebrated as part of the journey to healthier living.
Your value as a person, your experiences, success, and the light you bring to the world can’t be measured by the scale - and the way you feel about yourself should not be, either.
