The scale is not cooperating with my weight loss goals. I am so close to having lost 100 lbs. So close that I can almost taste it. But instead, the tasting of cookies, sweets, and general junk is working against me.
Ultimately, I know why the scale isn't moving. But then I will have a good day and expect the scale to congratulate me and allow me to reach this milestone. And maybe sing a song or have applause or something. Fireworks would be a nice touch.
Unfortunately, that's not the way it works. Instead, I'm stalled. So I get frustrated with the scale (stupid jerkface) and mad at myself for all of this self-sabotage crap. And in being mad at myself, I don't actually correct the cycle.
As such, I think it's time to recognize the NSVs that I've been experiencing.
- I am able to wear my engagement ring again
- I have gone from a size 22 to a size 9/10 (which I'm counting as a size 9 because it's a single digit)
- I am fitting into clothes that were previously too small
- I am continually donating clothes that are too big
Sure, I'm not making fantastic choices all of the time, but I am making progress. And it's about progress, not perfection - right?
