Years ago when I was actually consistently losing I could eat something and I knew exactly what the scales were going to do and say! I would eat and there was a direct and correlating reaction on the scales...good or bad! This time around there seems to be no rhyme or reason! I eat something that should cause me to gain/retain water and I drop on the scales! But conversely, I eat a piece of lettuce and the scales go up by 10 pounds! (Ok, maybe not 10...but you get the idea!)
It’s frustrating!
So I am going to focus on not the number on the scale (ha right..I talk big but I still weigh myself every day!). Instead I am going to start focusing on ‘one thing I did for me today that was healthy!’ If I focus on making those healthy changes...the weight WILL fall off!
It sounds like a good plan to me!!!!
Great plan! I am changing my mindset on my weight loss too! I am more than a number and so are you!!
ReplyDeleteIt’s so hard to remember that though isn’t it??? But we have this!!
DeleteI am with you about those nasty scales! Last week I had a stomach flu and considering how many trips to the toilet I was sure I would see a loss but heck no, I gained 1.5 pounds. WTF??? But like you said focus on healthy not the scale. Look at the tape measurements. You knocked it out of the park. I know if we just keep the course we'll lose weight. Let’s make a deal, I won’t give up if you don’t.
