It is the little things.....

Sometimes it is the little things that really show you that it is worth it (especially when the scale is refusing to budge!)
1. When your stomach sticks out less than your width( when looking in the mirror)
2. When you no longer have to fill the bathtub to the top to cover your belly.
3. When the tendons stand out in your neck when you turn your head.
4. When you run up the stairs to your apartment due to the rain and are not out of breath at the top.
5. When you do a work out you haven't done in awhile and are shocked that you aren't wiped out afterwards.(which you were the last time you did it)

I am still trying to get used to my new body....I have to remember I am not the person I used to be. For instance today, I was at a party, and I forgot that hey, it does not matter where I sit, I am not as big as I used to be.0

Remember muscle weighs more than fat. That could part of the scale. Sometimes it just falls off at one time. I go days without losing then all of the sudden I have lost 2 lbs. Remember you have to change up exercise and food so your body doesnt get in a rut. I am with you it is not always about the numbers.0
