The scales seem to hold the ultimate power - they have the ability to make or break your day, and your spirit. But i think we all need a reminder sometimes that there are many more important things then just a number on the scales, while it might not be changing, your measurements may be changing, your skin may be clearer, you may have more energy. There are so many positive things that being healthy brings about, but often people are so focused on the scales that they ignore the rest, and give up.
Yesterday i tried on a pair of goal pants, previously, iv never been able to get them over my butt!! but today they went up and over. huge fist pump moment!! while i was on a high, i decided to go to target on my lunch break and get some new pants (as all of mine are falling off), this was where my day started going downhill, i know clothing sizes are inconsistent, but it is a huge slap in the face when a size smaller then im currently in was a bit snug, so to get ones that would fit, i would need to get the same size that i am. i refuse to buy the same size! so, will look at kmart and big w, but otherwise, ill be waiting till i shrink a few more cms off myself. I could have focused on the negative that i havent really dropped a size, and dont get me wrong, i did for a little bit, but then i reminded myself - i fit into the pair of lorna jane pants that iv been wanting to wear for over a year!! (only downside is cause im a shorty they are a bit longer then the 3/4 style they are meant to be)
So, next time you get a number, or result that is disappointing, take a moment to reflect on the positive changes you've been making to your life, and those around you!
