Today is the day I conquered the evil scale! It no longer owns me.
I may never weigh myself on this thing again, but knowing that I could if I want to is amazing! I let this thing control my mind. It was alway in the back of my head that I couldn't. Well that is no longer an obstacle. I can not and will not let it control me. I feel amazing!
While I have weighed less before, I have never been this healthy. This time is different. Before I went through the motions and had results but I always reached my goal and quit. It was a temporary situation. This is different. The way I approach food and exercise is different. I've had support in the past but not the amazing group of women I have now. I've eaten healthy before but again that was temporary and not realistic sustainable changes. I've exercised before but not with the strength, enjoyment and success that I have now. I'm not perfect. I do not pretend to be. I am accepting of my flaws and failures and no longer allow them to defeat me. This time my head is in the right place and I will succeed.
This brings my grand total of inches lost between 10/5 - 2/8 to 45 inches!!! That's Awesome right?!? Well I didn't appreciate it fully because I still had that E mocking me and the failure of missing the weight loss goal weighing heavy on my mind. It's HARD to get out of the dark corners of your mind and stay focused on the positive and the amazing progress I have made. Yes there will be a celebration when I hit 330 and that evil scale no longer mocks me with an E. Yes I will be thrilled to hit my prepregnancy weight. I will, however, also take the time to recognize the progress I have made and not stay so focused on the scale.
