Please stop basing your happiness on a number

I see this over and over again on these boards, posters who put all their happiness based on what a number says. The scale should be largely irrelevant to your happiness. It's great as a tool to measure your body, but it's one of many. Cm lost, how your clothes fit, how you feel are just as important if not more.

I've just read five different people post that they're unhappy because the scale doesn't say a certain number. It's not the be all and end all of health. Or life. Go out and enjoy yourself with family and friends!
