what your clothes say, is way more important than what the scale says.0

Here's the link I found upon googling "why the scale lies." Very interesting read. This one's getting bookmarked for tomorrow when this question comes up again.

Something I keep in mind when I'm not happy with the number on the scale:
My main goal is to be relaxed and non-obsessive about what I eat and about moving my body. As a former obsessive, I frequently have to combat getting stuck mentally on the ‘small stuff’. Case in point:
When I weigh in and see a number that I’m not happy with (it ‘should’ be lower after how hard I worked this week/how little salt I ingested/how awesome my workouts were/*insert your reason for not liking the number on the scale*), I ask myself if there was a time, ANY TIME, in the past that I would have been thrilled to see this VERY SAME number on the scale.
As a former wearer of a size 20 and a former weigher of 230 lbs, the answer is always “Yes”.
This number would have made me happy two weeks ago/one month ago/one year ago. I refuse to let this number not make me as happy today as it would have made me in the past.
