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!!
I 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.

I am hearing you...
It’s so hard to remember that though isn’t it??? But we have this!!
I’m in this to win it! I’m here with you and we WILL conquer this journey!
That said, I hope that you are totally back to being 100% after your bout with the stomach flu!!
Hard lesson to remember but so important isn’t it??
