I lost 3 stone and I wish I could be excited.

Apologies for any formatting issues, I'm on mobile.

I can't remember if I ever posted anything at the time but a month or two ago, I got to a 3 stone total loss, or so I thought. My scales were actually broken from water damage, which was caused by the people I live with and weren't as accurate as I thought they were. I bought some new scales and realised my original ones were a whole stone out, so really, I'd only lost 2 stone. I won't lie, it was really discouraging and I was really close to giving up but I kept at it because otherwise all the effort I'd gone to up to that point would have been for nothing. I know that the number on the scales isn't everything in terms of weight loss and I've been working really hard to focus on my NSVs after this had happened.

I did my weekly weigh in today and actually reached the 3 stone total. I thought I'd be excited about it because I'd actually finally reached one of my smaller goals but I don't really feel anything at all. I'm not minimising or dismissing getting to this point at all because it's still a big achievement, but I just kind of feel like I've been here before. I was so excited and so were other people when I thought I'd lost this weight before, and in all honesty, I feel like I'd lied and misled people last time, even though I know that's not true.

I'm not sure what I'm looking for with this, or even if I'm looking for anything at all, I guess it feels better to get it out?
