you have actually hit a subject that is one of my biggest fears.that would be never reaching my goal weight and if i do hit my goal weight of being comfortable and it all coming back because for me everything is in number form if it doesnt move i panic.

I looked at her and asked the same thing Eat my earned calories back are you serious? I said whats the point of exercising if…

thank you for that piece of advice. I look at my scale all the time as well and I know it is something I shouldnt do. I guess I find myself feeling fat especially on days I eat stuff I shouldnt eat.
