...the scale that is. I weighed myself the other morning without my glasses (or contacts) and it took a bit for me to focus and see the number on the scale. Then it hit me. I'm focusing too much on the number. I have lost weight, inches; I have gained muscle and strength. My wedding rings are loose and I don't have to struggle to take them off, or put them on any more. I am down a pant size, and that is getting big. I need to focus on what is really important...ME, not the number on the scale.
I might not be super consistent with the exercise, I might "cave" into cravings, but I am still a healthier me than I was 3 months ago.
My hubby asked me one day "If you had the body measurements (clothes size) you wanted, would you care about the number on the scale?" I had to think about it...and No, I don't think I would care about the number on the scale if I was the size I know I can be. That is what I need to aim for, not a number on the scale that can't tell me if I am healthy or not.
Remeber, it isn't about the number on the scale, it is about how you feel.
