So often in this path to health and wellness we forget about the victories that don't involve that little number on the scale moving.
I'm pretty bad at this. I get frustrated that the number isn't changing, even though I'm feeling stronger, looking more toned, etc, and frankly, it's discouraging sometimes.
But I understand that these days will happen as my body continues to readjust to a healthier lifestyle. I have to look at the big piture.
The big picture is, I've kept over FIFTY POUNDS OFF over the last 8 years. That's no small feat! It's proof of a true life style change, my increased happiness over time, as well as being evidence of leading a more active lifestyle. Losing weight and keeping it off is as much of a head game as it is a physical game.
So even if I end up being up a little this week, looking at the big picture is definately something worth celebrating!
