Why I Stopped Weighing Myself

When I say I stopped weighing myself, I don't mean I stopped consistently knowing how much I weigh. What I mean is that it has been 3 years since I've literally stepped on a scale. I don't know how much I weigh, and frankly I don't want to know (at least not anytime soon). I used to fear and obsess over the scale, letting it control my mood, confidence and happiness. But I no longer want to give it that power, here's why.
