Today is Wednesday, the holidays are fast approaching and I still have not weighed. I can't stop my head today from going there, you know that place that says, "Girl, you better get that scale back from that man, don't let him do that to you! You could be gaining weight right now instead of losing it and you won't even know it before it's way too late!"
Why do I torture myself so? Why is it so hard to measure success in a way other than the a number. Hey, my wedding ring is spinning around on my finger and it fits on my right hand. I can put my hand around my wrist and my fingers overlap, I have collar bones, ribs and hip bones. My tight jeans are not even tight straight out of the dryer. I took my measurements and have lost 2 inches in my waist in a month and 2 in my hips. Logically, I know these are victories of the non-scale type. Lord, help me put this in perspective. I'm really trying. I can do this....right?
I hope you all have a great day, it's hump day!
Big Hugs!

I'd be going crazy!
I don't think I could cope, I'd be out buying another scale!
When do you get it back?
You can do it, T! On average, its takes 27 days to break a bad habit. You are training your brain to think differently about weight-loss victories and its going to take a while. You're doing great. Stay strong, sister! *insert fist pump here*
You can do it!! The measurements are awesome!!
You can do it! you ARE doing it.
Numbers are evil anyway.
It's how you feel and how your clothes fit...RIGHT?!
Right.
XOXO
Wow are so strong :) I couldn't do what you are dong!! I am shopping for new and better scale sin fact ;)
xxxooo
I didnt weigh today...or yesterday. Not really on purpose, but by the time I remembered today...I was already dressed. And it makes me grumpy if I weigh and the number isnt what I want to see...so I didnt do it! But it's scary not weighing. I keep thinking...what if I dont weigh and then the next time I weigh I have gained 80 pounds? We are nuts.
I'm in awe of your ability to stick to this *says the scale whore* I'll be interested to see if you gain new appreciation for all those NSV's...or if you just go bonkers and go out and buy a scale for every room. Love ya!
Okay, I am officially impressed. But, do tell, WHEN are you going to weigh in? At the surgeon's office when you get a fill? When? Notice, I am going crazy for you!
SO proud of you!!!!! Awesome! The measurements tell you everything you need to know!
You can do it...hang in there cupcake.
You are doing great T, keep it up.
All the NSV's are great...you don't need the scale!
You are doing amazing! Keep it up who needs the scale anyways :)
You are doing fantastically, I absolutely love your husband and your relationship with him!! The NSVs are awesome, congratulations! I'm with Jenny, it takes a while to break or create a habit - and that's just what you're doing. You go girl!
NSV's are the best proof of your success! Way to go, these are all great victories! <3
