measuring success

Someone posted on another forum a question about how we measure our success.  Is it the scale, our clothing size, our committment to exercise, our committment to a food plan?  And that really took me back.  While I am sure she was talking about GBS success, it made me feel like so much of our emphasis is ON that success.  And I realize that I don't own a working scale; I buy clothes that feel good (in a size 18), and I don't feel like I need to be smaller. 

Of course, I am in recovery for food addiction and alcoholism.  I have to measure my success in various ways.  I am sober.  SUCCESS!!!  I am abstinent.  SUCCESS!!!  But how do I really measure success?  By wbat I contribute to the world, how I give back, and how I live my life.  It fits in with the meditation posted by Trish today.  I love when God "confirms" things for me.

Success means so many different things to different people, myself I try to keep my success aimed at how I'm doing in my Christian walk. Then if I'm walking good there the rest of my life should be in order.
