Every day, I check in and see if we are going to be in a fight today or not. The struggle is never ending.
I have been in a long-term relationship. It’s true, we are going on at least 20 years together. It has been many years of good days, some not great days and some horrible days. The good days are filled with happiness and joy. The not so great days are filled with mixed emotions of what did I do wrong or how can I make it better. Then the horrible days are spent wondering how we got so far apart from each other. Some of you may be in the same boat as I am. Every morning is when we decide if we are fighting or not. Just before I get in the shower, I step on the scale. This is my longest standing relationship, me and my scale. We were fighting for a long, especially when the quarantine hit! I have gone through a couple of scales over that 20-year period. We have been on an upswing for the past few months. Today we are not fighting, and we are in a good place. I hope this truce lasts for a long time.

Good for you. It all started with the Couch to 5k, and now look at you. I need to get back with my scale, we are not much on speaking terms at the moment. Very clever writing!!

Oh, I have been in a battle with my scale for all of my adult life! I like the way you wrote this! I was trying to figure out who is battling you for so long!

While I knew who you were battling, I loved your creativity. My battle is also daily, some days I care less than others, but it is never totally gone. I am learning that my health is more than the number on the scale and while I hope that continues to decrease, exercise, nutrition, and my mental health is also important and are all intertwined!
