Sooo... I did this last week. I didn’t have a card. I just said “No, thank you.” The nice nurse was taken aback and when she said, “Will you step on the scale?” again I said, “No, thank you.” Why? -because the reason I was there had nothing to do with weight - because I used to weigh myself everyday and I don’t want to focus on that number, it’s not good for me personally - I pursue healthy habits and BMI doesn’t take my lifestyle in to consideration When my doctor saw the note she said “Good for you! We don’t need it.” What??? 🤯 Here’s your reminder - you get to say NO, even at the doctor’s office. For many of us, that number effs with our confidence and mental well being. It tells us stories about our worth and beauty and body that aren’t true. The scale is not a barometer of behavior and mental health. Let’s keep finding ways to take care of ourselves and each other. 💕
