scales measure weight, not worth!

As my journey continues, so does my love/hate relationship with my scale.  I love the story I recently came across in a book. A lady was talking about a sign that was posted by the scale at her doctor’s office it read, “The scale measures weight, not worth. You are worthy and beautiful”.  After reading this I thought what a wonderful saying this was and I applauded the doctor who put this by his scale.

I know for myself the scale has always been my mark of success when it came to weight loss. However, as I go along in this journey I am starting to realize it is not a true indicator of all of my success. I need to remember to look at all the things I have been able to accomplish already. A huge success for me already has been getting 10,000 steps in each day and sticking to my calorie limits. Even if this may not show up today on the scale it will help me achieve my long-term goals and success.

​As I have mentioned before I had hoped for faster results then I am experiencing. So, I decided to reevaluate things, keep those that are working and revamp those I am struggling with. One area that I am going to change is my exercise program. I believe it is time to get some form of weight training included in this program, this will not only change things up but it hopefully will also get things moving along a little quicker.

With all this being said I was able to lose another pound off that dreaded scale, so all is not so bad. :) One pound at a time… just like success starts with the first step. Love it or hate it some days, I am on a Quest to be My Best.
