Breaking free…
I think I am finally going to break free from my addiction to what the scale says…
rn
I know I know, we all tell each other this repeatedly out here on the boards…And we all try, I think…But I truly think I am going to wean myself off of my reliance on the scale as the be all end all to this weight loss journey…
rn
Why? You may ask…Well, tonight I had an epiphany! I was at the work out room, and of course there are wall to wall mirrors for all the GQ looking guys and gals to stare and ogle themselves…
rn
As for me and my kind, we run and hide far away from those mirrors, but tonight, I was finishing up a rather hard work out, I might add, and I was walking towards the exit, and I looked in the mirror, and I was actually shocked!!!
rn
Now, mind you, I had on a tighter fitting work out outfit as opposed to my usual baggy garments…So I was seeing more than I normally see of my ownself and I was like MAN…Where did my hips go????
rn
Seriously…I think they are disappearing!!! Along with some of my boobs, I might add!
Which is NOT a good thing…
rn
But anyway, for the first time in a loooooong time, I didnt really mind looking at myself…I still have a ways to go, for sure, but you know what? I am making peace with that…So if the scale is not moving as fast as I would like, I am secure in my knowledge that my body is changing regardless due to all the exercise…
rn
And thats okay by me! I am making peace with the scale…
rn
Thanks for stopping by and I wish you all continued success!

Dawn
Boobies disappearing..that is the one fear my husband has..HA HA! GOOD JOB!
Dawn you are doing fantastic.. Now you can finally believe why people look at you and say WoW!? It is good girl and it’s only going to get better.. You are working out so much how could it be anything else..? Keep it up girl and you won’t care what the scale says.. Your hips will tell the story to everyone!
I think that mirror revelation would definitely be enough to convince me…I just wish I could have a mirror revelation!!!? One of these days.
You’re doing great.? Keep it up!!
Oh, and thanks for the poem!
O teach me O’ Wise one. Teach me your knowledge of peace and respect for the All Mighty Scale.
All kiddin aside, Im so proud of you Dawn!? I think Im half way there. I sometimes can find myself in the mirror seeing the “new” me . Other times I catch myself and think OMG why did you where that shirt to workout in ? So baby steps I guess its all upstairs?.
WooooHoooo!!!? What a great post!? Glad you are feeling good about yourself!
YES, YES, YES, YES!!!? This is a great way to be.? You know what’s great, that # on the scale is just a #.? I bet if you asked people to make a guess on how much you weigh, they would NEVER guess because you look so small!!!? I’m so glad you see what others see…..
