Not all victories are in the scale, some are right in front of you and you don't see them.
OK this last month was hard. My weight loss is down to a crawl. It like a snail walking in a peanut butter field, this morning I get on the scale and I see no movement. I was heartbroken and discouraged. Then, I start getting dress and I realized I have lot to celebrate without realizing it; I have hit my "size".
Before my surgery, I used to go to the stores and I used to have a size that I wanted to be in my head. I always wanted to be a size 8. I would look at those jeans in the gap and I used to say to myself "one day, someday, I'll wear a size 8” TODAY IS THAT DAY!!!!
So the moral of the story, is not all about the scale, my victories are everywhere, when I refused that donut that is a victory. When I just run just 5 more minutes more, that is a victory. Preparing for my first 5K that is my Victory. Or when I don't see the scale move for month but I get on those skinny size 8 jeans with a medium top and then I remembered was it was like before this when i used to hate shopping, when i used to hate me. That is my victory.
So my friends! I'LL TAKE THIS VICTORY! I am making myself a promise today, I am not letting that scale rule what my victories are.
Oh, this is AWESOME! Congrats on your huge achievements!!
