Libra is a single lie! It promises you luck and success if you only reach that number on the screen. It has incredible power over us and soon becomes the source of our self-worth.
What is on this piece of plastic, glass, ..., to him we trust with our lives? Why do we allow something so insignificant to define us as human beings?
The scale can only tell you one thing. A number. Your relationship with gravity. And that's that. A simple number that tells you nothing more than how much your body weighs. And why do we even care?
Of course, this does not mean that you can neglect your health. Weight is one aspect of your health, but not the only indicator of whether you are healthy or not. Health comes in all sizes and shapes. The scales only come in one way: you are not thin enough!

Weight is like a means of measuring beauty and value a socially constructed idea. Beauty and value are too great to be measured or weighed. Your soul is something amazing, and no scale can understand it. Thus, the scale tells you some numbers that have almost no importance for you as a human being. You know he can lie to you. He can scream profanities, he can make you cry. It can tell you that you are too much like that and not enough like that. What doesn't he tell you? What's behind that number?
He will never tell you how your eyes light up when you talk about the things you love. She won't tell you how well that dress suits you, it accentuates your god-given curves. She won't tell you yes your smile lights up every space you step into. Yes your laugh so pleasant that no one feels lonely anymore. He doesn't tell you that he is your hand dried countless tears. That the world needs your unique gifts. She won't tell you that you are beautiful and that your beauty is even greater with every life experience. And she definitely won't tell you yes no number in this world knows who you are, what makes you YOU!

This world needs gifts that only YOU can give! We need you. The real you. And when we say YOU, we don't mean 50 kg of you or 100 kg of you. We need it your heart, your soul, your light. And that's forever, no matter what the numbers on the scale say.
Take care of yourself, your body. It's important, that you are healthy, that you will be among us for a long time. But don't fall for the idea that self-care is hating your body and doing anything to fit into that bikini or bathing suit. Take care of yourself with love, live life!
