I will no longer be using a scale or measuring tape

I started my weight loss journey about 2 months ago. I do not know what my starting weight was nor do I care. I have an idea that it is around 300 pounds due to the last time I weighed myself, but that is all I know. This tactic has been very useful for me. I focus on my lifestyle changes and routine while avoiding worry about a number on a scale. So far it’s been working out great as I can see and feel the changes on my body. My weight is probably fluctuating but I would never know! All I know is that I’m trending towards losing weight, my appetite has been reduced, my clothes fit better and I feel more energized.

If the overall goal is to make lifestyle changes and not “diet” why do the numbers matter? I’m focused on my lifestyle not my weight and it has been so liberating. Going forward the only numbers I will care about are the results of my blood work and vitals (glucose, cholesterol, blood pressure etc.)

I hope this motivates somebody who is feeling discouraged by the number on the scale. Your weight does not define you! Your choices do.
