Hello there lovelies,
Have you ever realised how much we all obsess about numbers? Weight, height, waist circumference, Body Mass Index, 30 minutes of exercise, 10,000 steps a day, Grade Point Average, clothing sizes, shoe size, kilojoule/calorie intake, bra size, bank balance, weekly income, debt repayments, and the list goes on.
I weight 71 kilograms - my highest weight was 89 kilos, and my lowest 61 kilos. I have a 74cm waist circumference. I'm between 167 and 169cms tall, depending on who does the measuring, and how straight I stand up. I have a BMI of around 24.9. My cumulative GPA from three years of a psychology degree was 6.0 - highest GPA being a 6.25, and the lowest GPA 5.85. I wear a size 10-12 shirt, and size 12-14 pants. My bank balance is pretty much $0, my weekly income is reasonable, and I'm in more debt than I should be. But strangely, none of these numbers bother me much anymore.
When it comes down to it, they are just numbers. They don't say anything about how happy I am, how successful I am, or how much my friends, family and The Boyfriend love me. These numbers don't tell me anything about how smart I am, how creative I am, or how beautiful I am. And your numbers are no different. They're just numbers - just a way of quantifying something so that it can be compared to other similar things. No matter how big or small your numbers are, they don't make you any more or less as a person. They're just numbers. So remind me again why we care?
Until next time, xo.
