Before After

Le Sigh.

Last night, I promised myself that I wouldn't let myself feel disappointed if the scale didn't show much progress when I did my weigh-in this morning. After all, I said to myself, tomorrow I'll just be finishing up my TOM so, really, I should consider it a small victory even if I just maintain at last week's weight.

Well, I did manage to go down by 0.2, but--of course--no matter what I told myself last night, I did feel a little disappointed when I didn't see more progress on the scale.

Rationally, I know perfectly well that it really is a small victory not to have gone up during my TOM, and I had plenty of other small victories this week (resisting various food temptations at the Staff Day, fitting in three walks, etc.), but I guess it's only human to want to see it reflected more concretely on the scale.

OTOH, I did lose some more inches off my chest, waist, hips and thighs, so there's some progress right there. Time to buck up!

Awesome!!

Next week *has* to be better for your weigh in!!  Like you said, coming off TOM this is a great week!!  Keep up the awesome work!!

:)

It is easy to be disappointed when the scale doesn't show the number we want it to. It is so awesome that you lost during TOM, that in itself is such an accomplishment!!

well

Inches mean more than pounds, don't they? I wish I was losing more inches than pounds!

TOTM

never a good time to weigh in... always retaining water and nasty stuff like that... im sure youll be happier with next weeks result. x

Well

Ive just read some of your other posts and I think you did a FANTASTIC job on your staff day to not be tempted by Pizza I know I would not have been that strong, especially after having a whole day of treats thrust under my nose.

Keep going

You are doing so well

Speak soon
