I used to think everything is beyond me. :sad: :frown: :noway:

Now, I'm learning to focus on the most important goals in my life. :flowerforyou: :happy:

heal4444

Reading all the posts in this thread is a great reminder that somethings cannot be measured by the scale. Though the scale shows we only lost 5 lbs and not yet our goal weight or it didn't budge, or we gained, whatever. The fact that we are taking better care of ourselves, improving over our old selves is priceless and more important than what the scale says.

This is such a positive, reflection of our growth, thread for all. I this thread. Tks oregonlady!! :happy: Shows how much we've all grown over the years.

I love this one-soo true!

I used to hate to alone
now I love my company and love to do things by myself

oregonlady

i used to get upset when the scale says i've gained a little weight
:indifferent: (i weight myself a lot):indifferent:
but now i know what i've ingested/done (cuse i log it all here! )so i know if the # is just silly.

(ie; yesterday morning it read 3 lbs lower than today. but i know i have been 100% healthy and not overate at all so the # flux does not bother me.)

I want to change all of me!!
