I Will NEVER

Again allow the scale to dictate My Emotional Well-being again! I admit that I became emotionally paralyzed, then angry, then sad, then persecuted Myself after getting on the scale and it moved 1 lb in the "wrong" direction, when I have been Living My Wellness Plan. That was CRAZY, it changed My whole day...Before I got on that scale I was laughing, vibrant, kidding around, felt sexy, looked good, felt GREAT! 30 seconds after getting off the scale a black cloud came over Me...Totally CRAZY!

A day later I realized how NUTS that is and I began to SEE the lunacy in this, so I began to Write out the VICTORIES/Success/Benefits I have from eating and exercising right.

1) I am HEALTHY !!!!!!!
2) I have My Mobility back, I move fluidly, pain free, no back pain !!!!!!!
3) I feel Happy, I feel "Sunny" inside !!!
4) I look GREAT, My face and eyes are bright and clear, My hair has gotten fuller, My teeth and gums are are fantastic !!!!!
5)I FEEL GREAT !!!!!

I now get it, weight loss is just ONE result of Living A Healthy Lifestyle, wt loss will come as long as I LIVE Healthy, but the OTHER Benefits - I wouldn't give up for ANYTHING!

What are some of the Benefits You have gotten from Changing Your Lifestyle/Eating & Exercise/ Healthy Lifestyle?

One of the things that I have noticed is that I can catch my breath, literally. I noticed that whenever I take a deep breath, I can actually round it out. (Not sure if it makes sense as I type this). But it definitely feels good to be able to breathe in and out...

Thanks for this post!!

The biggest difference for me was in my relationship with my husband. I was so ashamed to let him see me because I had been so tiny before....this made us distant and put a huge strain on our relationship.

Now I am confident again and love myself....I really believe you cant love others until you love yourself. Our relationship has improved 100%

I noticed about two weeks in that I have loads more energy even when I feel tired. It's weird, but awesome. Also, I have stopped one of my asthma meds (the one with steroids in it) and my ulcer doesn't act up as much. I just feel better all around and even though I haven't met my goal weight, I have way more confidence than I did before I started MFP.
