I have to end our relationship. It’s not you, it’s me. I’ve changed and I just don’t seem to want you anymore. It’s not that I don’t care what you have to tell me, but the numbers just don’t seem to matter. I weigh what I weigh and what you tell me won’t make any difference. I feel good these days and I don’t need you to tell me otherwise.
There’s other ways to confirm what is happening. I can tell if I’m gaining or losing by the tightness of my clothes. I can tell the good days from the bad and I don’t want to base my success on the numbers you tell me. There are other successes in this journey besides your digital readout. And frankly, sometimes I think you lie to me.
So good-bye. You’ve tortured me enough. I know this will be hard on me because you’ve been a weekly reminder for over a year now, but I’m over it. I want to feel my way though this based on other factors, not just a number. I am eating fresh healthy foods because it tastes better. I scarcely eat sugar because it makes me sluggish. I exercise because it gives me energy. I’m doing what feels right for me and I don’t want you or anyone else to tell me it’s not working, because for me this way is working just fine.
So good luck to you. I wish you well. I’m sure you’ll find someone who will appreciate you as much as I once did.

That takes some guts! I really admire you for this, I hope to do the same one day, just not there yet.
Good for you!! There are much better indicators of health than the number on the scale. Again-good for you!!!!!
Good for you. I wish I had the courage to give up the scale.
LOVE THIS POST! You are so right! Maybe one day I can split from the scale too!
Ha ha - "it's not you, it's me". Classic break-up language.
Good for you - I wish I could say the same as it appears (don't hate me) that I'm dating your old boyfriend.
Yeah!
Well, Amen to that! I think the scale was created by a man. I really do!!
Wow. I am super impressed.
I'm glad it's the scale getting the heave and not us! At first, I thought you were breaking up with your blog! Glad you'll still be around!
Woohooooo!! That's fantastic. Goodbye, lying scale. Hello, feel good body :-)
Woohoo! I am so there too! It's really liberating to stop listening to an outside authority and start tuning in to your inner guidance system. Good luck!
Amen! My house is scale free too.
...so has the scale sent you flowers or tried to get back together with you yet? Congrats on kicking that loser to the curb!
Cute letter.
I tried to brake up with my scale once, I ended up buying another one.
I think that it was really stupid and the big break up is stupid.
i think that this is really dumb
