Sometimes it's hard for us to understand why losing weight takes so long. We want it to be gone with a snap of our fingers. Here is something that puts it into perspective.

It's easy to forget what 5 lbs lost on a scale looks like. It seems like no big deal. It's actually pretty significant. Oh and by the way...1 lb is 4 sticks of butter!

This really helped me put things in perspective, thanks so much!
Now I'll have more realistic goals, and not get flustered when I don't see astronomical changes in just one week. xD0 -

I had this idea once about buying a 5 lb bag of flour every time I lost 5 lbs and then making it into some sort of art project!0
