Getting on to the scales today, I felt an utter sense of gloom. Why do the numbers always keep going up? But, I have been trying to tell myself that this is not failure... because I do not fail. This is simply a temporary setback. Perhaps just another temporary setback in the series I have been encountering lately.
I have to rise above it, cultivate some optimism and plow on ahead. Right?
(Deep breath). Yup. That's what I am doing. Plowing on ahead. Because straight on ahead is where I shall meet success.

Yep! Plow positively ahead!...Don't look down at scales or nothing! LOL
It seems funny to think of it now, when illness keeps me from eating much of anything, but years ago I struggled to lose weight. For years. And I well remember the feeling of discouragement that old scale gave me. Finally, I came to the point of wanting to just be free of that scale and of dieting... and I held onto a verse each day that said, "If the Son has set you free, you shall be free indeed." And I just stopped weighing and tried each day to eat like a free and normal and healthy person. I still ate desserts, but in moderation. And I started walking each day. I didn't lose weight overnight, but over the course of a few years - and they were so much better years.
(And anyway, you are SO beautiful. I find it hard to believe you have far to go to achieve whatever goal you are seeking.)
Hate those scales. I lost 15 lbs. before this India trip and I think I've done pretty well at maintaining here...but it is so hard. The food is just fabulous.
Best wishes in the coming year - your wonderful blog is always a joy.
I am feeling the same way...it is just a day by day process...celebrate your small successes and you will get there! :) Happy 2012!
first step: through out the scale and listen only to your body not to numbers ♥ have a great weekend :)
Ah I feel your pain! Why is it so much easier to put the weight on then it is to take it off????
I am right with you...! It is hard...but...not over yet!
I don't really have any wisdom to share, except to echo what someone else said - look ahead to life, to a happy future, not down at some number on a scale.
I do so believe
you'll get there....be exactly the size that makes you feel
light on your feet
and in your heart:)
bright beautiful beginnings
to you,
Jennifer
Sure you 'll meet success, dear friend. You desserve it !
Je te souhaite une excellente année 2012, pour toi et pour tous ceux que tu aimes !
Bises
