I’m Having an Identity Crisis

I am not sure if it is because of my birthday or if it is because I am just at that stage, but lately, I feel like I am having an identity crisis.  For so long, I was the too fat chick.  Then, I was the too skinny chick.  Now, I am wondering who am I?  I am no longer either one of those people.  What is my identity?

Does gravity's pull on my body define me?

As I am writing this, (let's call it journal therapy), I realize that I am allowing my scale to define who I am.  I am allowing how I feel about myself, and how I think that others feel about me to be defined by the gravitational pull on my body.  Does it really matter how much I weigh?  Does it determine my strength? Does it determine my love for people?  Does it get to define my identity?

Then I thought about others...

How many times have I seen others who believe that they are unlovable because of their weight.  How many times have I witnessed others determining what they can and can't do be based on what the scale says?  How many times have I told others that the scale doesn't define their identity?  I must say it's a lot.  And here I sit doing the exact same thing that I preach about.   I guess I have been thinking that I am immune.  But, I am not immune.  I am just like everyone else.  I would even have to say that I have been in denial.  I have been allowing the scale to dictate my life.  I have been letting it determine what I do.  I have let it get into my head.  

What happens to the people who don't recognize it?  What about the people who are letting the scale determine who they are? Is there a way that I can help them?  I am not sure.  I know for me that I learn from doing some serious evaluation of myself.  It isn't easy.  In fact, some days it is VERY, VERY hard.  What can we do together to stop allowing the little metal box determine our identity?


Let's start...

Let's start by taking the focus off of us.  I know that when I stick my hand up and start to volunteer to help others it helps me in my self-destructive habit of being so hard on myself.  What volunteer opportunity do you want to be part of?  Who can you help today?  I believe I will start a club.  I think I will call it the Warrior Club, where we fight to take on our former selves to create a new stronger person.  It will be for everyone.  It will help all of us who are struggling to get together and start to help one another.  When we all come together, synergy happens. How about it?  Are you in???  If you are, comment below!  Or you can comment over on my social media pages of Facebook or Instagram!  

Let's all get over this identity crisis together!  To Hell with the Scale!

Warrior Fierce,
