I know I post about fitness a lot these days, and I LOVE it because of the confidence and better health that it has given me. Sure, I also loved losing a few pounds that I had unnecessarily put on ....
BUT my worth is not defined by a number on a scale, the size of a pair of jeans, or how much "fat" I can manage to pinch. Neither is yours!!
(Granted just a couple months ago, I lived on that scale and with a tape measurer. It's not wrong to track your progress, but don't let that define your worth.)
I do believe that we are called to take care of our bodies (1 Corinthians 6:12-20), but I also believe God's word when it says that I am "fearfully and wonderfully made" just the way I am (Psalm 139:14).
The God of the universe created You to be YOU. Let that define your WORTH. Don't change it, just maintain it. And for goodness sakes, put down the scale.
