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 · February 2009

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.

Sassybritches. What you wrote about love, a man to love, happiness. Good for you!! :happy:

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

oregonlady · February 2009

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.)

mandersen16 · February 2009

I used to cry and be depressed and not come out of my house...
Now, i have more confidence in myself and enjoy going out to places:drinker:

Good for you getting out of that cycle!!!

I used to curse like a trucker
Now I curse like my 2 year old nephew (trust me, this is much better)

I want to change all of me!!

then and now ; new game!?
