Weight Perspective

This morning when I got on the scales and found my weight had dropped 74kg (down from 78, still a long way to get to my goal of 60kg) I was excited and quite pleased with myself. I FELT attractive.
I thought back quite a few months before I started my healthy lifestyle and remembered the feeling when I last saw that number on the scales. I felt big, clumbsy, depressed, fat, ugly etc… from weight that was slowly creaping up.
Seeing that same weight today heading in the opposite direction gave me a completely different perspective.

it is weird how the mind works. I never felt that big when I was at my highest weight, just kinda decided it was time to take charge of it. I lost 40 lbs, gained a little back over christmas, and I felt huge even though I was still 30 lbs down from my highest weight, who knows...
keep going your on a roll0 -
A few years ago I felt terrible at my current weight. The the scales went up and up and those 62kg felt like a whistful memory. Today I am back at it and pleased as punch. A few more kilos to go until I will have regained my old weight and I can't believe how slim I must have been back then. Perhaps even even a tad skinny? How body image changes!0
