Day 4- ???
Well hello again, hasn't this week gone so so fast??
Yesterday was day 4 of being healthy again and feeling better about myself.
I woke up yesterday morning and felt so good and already felt my body shape changing. I vowed to not weight myself for a month because I wanted my journey to be primarily about health, not about weight. But because I felt so good I was curious as to how much weight I has *lost* So I pulled my scaled out from under the bed and weighed myself..
Big Big Mistake!!
Right there and then I felt like a deflated balloon, yes I had lost some but nothing compared to how much I thought, or how good I was feeling. That is when it dawned on me that I did the exact opposite of what I am trying to do, and that is to encourage others to be healthy, and instead I made it about weight and instead of being happy with the changes I have made, I felt depressed because the numbers on the scales were not what I wanted.. Crazy hey?!?!?
So back under the bed went the scales, making me even more determined to keep them under there for the rest of the month.. I shall not be defined by numbers but continue to make myself a better me. Hope we can encourage each other on this journey as we go from trial to triumph!!

Think about the centimeters Lami, not kilo's. One will be so much more encouraging as your weight loss progresses.
