I don’t get on the scale very often. I like to think that I can judge my weight loss by how my clothes fit.
I got on the scale today and I GAINED 5 pounds! It is not even that time of the month!
Is it a set back? Should I be upset? I do not think so. I weighed myself in the middle of the day, which is really a no-no anyway. I was curious, though because I had been having a hard time keeping anything down and I was wondering if that was having any affect on my weight.
Apparently not.
Do not become obsessive about the scale. It is only a guide to how you are doing on your weight loss journey. It does not decide how you are doing. YOU decide how you are doing.
Do you feel better? Do your clothes look better on you? Do you have more energy than you did before? Did any of that change? If so, it is time to see what you are doing, not what you are weighing!
I feel better. I do look better. I still get complements from people that have not seen me in a while. I have not needed to buy new clothes yet, but I am getting close. Soon, my pants will fall off of me!
