I was just talking about how I wished the Biggest Loser would occasionally utilize other methods of success...perhaps an episode where contestants fat content was measured and calculated for the biggest loss of the week or measurements, pant size...etc.
I have grown increasingly frustrated by the numbers on the scale not moving at all after the first week yet I feel my body changing...but old habits of judging myself from those numbers die hard...even when I am totally aware of this! So lucky for me, I had measured myself as well and so this morning I decided to see if I had lost even a little bit...?
I have lost 11 and 1/2 inches...and that's just on the parts I measured...I didn't do an all out inch analysis just a few key points of interest! (I lost two full fricking inches on my waist, no sucking anything in, even!) WOOHOO!!! So, just another reminder to not get so wrapped up in what the scale might say, give yourself multiple ways of measuring your success! The numbers will evenutally budge, but there isn't a reason to feel blue until they do if you give yourself other ways to see changes!
Have an awesome day!
So timely! I've been running and eating a pretty healthy, balanced diet, tracking my food, water, etc and .2 pounds came off...In THREE WEEKS! Then I put on a pair of jeans I didn't think would fit because they were pretty snug a little bit ago and voila...it's not about the numbers :)
