I understand what you are saying, and I agree. But for me I still need to see the scale move with the smaller numbers like a pound or two here or there, that is how my mind works. You know like, okay I am doing this for something I see results.
Last year I lost 40 lbs, but more important I lost over 40 inches, I did that with exercise. I understand today that the number that I weigh will never be what I want it to be and it shouldn't. I do measure big results by the way my clothes fit and even more by the way I feel. I just learned that last year. Than I hit a wall, stopped losing and started gaining, emotions of my wedding being over and then the holidays it all hit me hard, I picked up my old habits and put 10 lbs back on.
Today I posted this not so much because of the 5 lbs but because I feel back on track. I am eating healthy again and it shows in the way I feel. I am happy with that today.
But I don't think I couldn't weigh myself for 5 years
LOL.
