Alright y'all, this is gonna be super hard for me!! My whole life, my weight has effected me. My friends and family were my worst critics "chunkapunk" and "fat girl" were the names they gave me. Of course they didn't mean to hurt me, but it did. When I met my now husband I was 256lbs within a year of his positive love I had lost 100lbs. Had a baby gained it all back plus 25lbs!! Lost it within a year!!! Kept it off for 3 years oh yeah!! Then had another baby!! 263 when she was born!! Took me 6 years to get to 205. Last summer I turned up the heat and lost 35!! Gained 9 back... currently 177.2!! I cringe Everytime I step on the scale. So to help my anxiety and insecurities I am gonna post a pic of the scale everyday whether I like what it says or not!!! I know that we all fluctuate 5-10lbs daily.....but I need to get over this insecurity!!! I believe this will help!!! Feel free to post pics of your daily weigh in as well!! We can embark on an inner and outer journey together!!! 💝

    Have you thought about planning meals, taking body measurements and not stepping on the scale so often? The tape shows fewer routine fluctuations and gives you something +ve to focus on. Meal planning and then sticking to the plan should ensure that you remain within deficit and exercise will help general feelings of well being. If the scale increases stress levels don't use it ;)

    You and I weigh almost exactly the same with about the same fluctuations. I'm fluctuating between 169 and 171 right now.

    Yesterday I was so bad y'all!!! Well I felt like I was...really I guess the diary and scale don't lie!!! Used to I'd beat myself up after a day where I felt like that and I'd lose progress....but now I see it in a whole other light!!! Train your brain y'all!! This is more of a mental battle than anything else!!! I always thought the scale was my enemy....now she is my motivated my friend and a constant reminder I'm on my way!!! gm09rdkpgwyk.jpg

    Ok so yesterday I was an emotional wreck!! I did not over eat!! Stayed strong. Today I am struggling to find motivation!!! Damn I'm gonna miss her....I don't even wanna walk outside. We have 4 other dogs.....but Domino had been there since Stewart and I got together. She was by are side through it all!!!! Feels like so much more than the loss of a good dog. A chapter of my life has closed. Domino was found in my childhood neighborhood....so many ties to my dad and the past. Just feels like a lot to let go of!!! ezibwzpoldv0.jpg
