“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!”

Well I'm back everyone... Due to lack of ideas, and lack of readers, I took some time off, found myself, and came back in a blaze of glory....
Just kidding, I'm back until I get writers block again.
Well, here's what has been happening the last 6 months or so...
1) I'm getting married.... Yup, stop laughing... The guy who said at one point in his life that he was never going to get married again is in the process of planning round 2. Shes a pretty girl, but she stresses about stupid stuff. That's what the quote is about. She's not really a big but she pisses and moans about her weight on a daily basis. Shit gets old quickly. Anyways, shes a good girl. We have our moments because she's just as stubborn and set in her ways (good and bad) as I am. I love her, so that's all that really matters.
Back to the wedding planning. This stuff is tough. Money, money, time, more money, stress, and etc... She wants everything her way, I want to SOME things to be a compromise. There's a good chance in the end that it will be 98.5% her way, but come on!!!! Its my wedding too.... That all being said, its coming along. We aren't getting married until June 13, 2015, if my annulment goes though. If not, I will be up shit creek with no paddle, or a canoe....
2) I have gone back to school. Last Monday was my first experience of online education. Its a lot of work, but in about a year I will have my degree in Exercise Science, with 6 certifications... YAY Me!
Well, that's all I really feel like writing about now. Please share my blog with everyone you know. I do this not only for myself, but for the readers. Without you, this would only be my thoughts in a secret little notebook....
