I have a love/hate relationship with the scale. Obviously I love it when it shows that my efforts are equaling weight going down and I hate it when the number does not move and I am kicking my butt everyday to make it move!
I have been slowly learning over the last couple months to not judge my success health wise on the scale. Do not get me wrong, I still weight myself weekly and keep an eye on the scale. I have not thrown it out the window but sometimes wish I had the willpower to do that.
About two months ago, the scale stopped moving for about three weeks. I went from losing 2-4 pounds a week to losing nothing! It was frustrating and for a day or two I really let it bother me. Then I tried on a pair of jeans that should have fit me and they were too big! It was my wake up moment that I needed to let the scale go. This journey had to be about more than just the scale or I was not really making a committment to being healthier and only working to see a different number each week.
With that being said, I am still super excited that I weighed myself today and I am officially down 50.6 lbs! Although my life and health is not centered around what the scale says, it still feels pretty good to know that I have hit a goal that I set for myself when I started this journey. I remember stepping on the scale the first day and seeing a number that made me sick. I remember thinking it felt impossible to even lose ten pounds and here I am 50 lbs later feeling amazing!
If I can do it, I know anyone can do it! Please let me know if you are you looking for any assistance or have any questions regarding how I eat, Shakeology, or the exercise programs that I use. Although what I do might not be the perfect fit for you, I would still love to connect you with different resources that have been a huge help for me!
