I hit 12.5 lost today and I took some time today to look through some of my Facebook photos through the years. I've fluctuated in weight a lot over the years, but something dawned on me today. I look good and happy in most of the photos. The 65 pound difference between my lowest weight and present weight really weren't as stark as they feel on my body.

And that's when I really realized this isn't all really about weight for me. I struggle with anxiety and binge eating and, for me, this journey does include a scale, but that's just a tool to help me remember not to use food as a crutch to deal with my bad days. It's a reminder to get my body moving and appreciate all it's capable of - and how much I've put it through.

So, just remember today that you are beautiful just as you are and to focus on how you FEEL and not just how you look.
