I have been frustrated recently because I have been doing all the right things - eating well, working out, relaxing. OK, maybe not relaxing. But I have been eating well and working out. So why, then, does my scale not move for a week? How is that possible?
Guess what - the scale isn't the only number to think about.
Since I started my weight loss journey (and to paraphrase Mark Twain who said quitting isn't difficult, I've done it many times - losing weight isn't difficult, I've done it many times) I have kept track of my measurements - bust, waist, hips, thigh, biceps. I track the measurements once each month. I have lost 9 pounds since starting Jan. 2. That's awesome! I have also lost a couple inches in most places. A couple inches off my waist and hips, one from my bust, half an inch from my thigh and biceps. That was wonderful news!
So now I can stop obsessing about the damn scale. It isn't the only measure. Thank God!
