Yesterday I stepped on the scale and saw 233lbs! Seven pounds lower than I was two weeks ago!
I am feeling very self-satisfied; I'm cognizant of my food intake, I'm honestly assessing my hunger cues, I'm increasing my physical activity, and the needle on the scale is responding. I am well on my way to 40 before 40! My goal is a ways off (Christmas), but I've been getting the positive feedback from my body and the scale that I'm on the right path.
I know this isn't good for everyone, but I love my scale. While I weigh myself daily, I only log once a week. Whatever the number is that day is my official weight for myself. It's just data, not judgement to me. Typically, weigh-ins only occur first thing in the morning before any food or drink has been ingested and after any bathroom needs have been met. Last night, I stepped on the scale before bed, and it read 235.0. Even at my heaviest for the day, it's not where I was two weeks ago. That's more encouragement and motivation for me.
That positive feedback feels really nice. I'm sure many of you know the struggle of sitting on a plateau of weight loss: you keep doing the hard work, but the scale doesn't move. Thankfully I'm not there yet. Each little nudge of the scale in the downward direction is making me feel more and more confident that YES! I will be 40 before 40!
