I haven't seen the scale move in over a week and yes I have gotten frustrated. Sometimes we focus on the numbers to much. I do especially. This past week my weight has been kind of all over the place fluctuating between 2-3 pounds. It's scary when your weight goes up a couple pounds. I start to feel a bit of panic rise in my chest. I want to yell and kick the scale down the stairs. How the hell can you go up??? That's the wrong way fucker! I am smart enough however to realize my body is just HUNGRY. It's going through a bit of starvation. That lovely starvation mode. I've really been trying to focus on eating more often. That is really hard to do when you essentially hate food. I do know my body needs fuel and I am trying to give it what it needs. It's very much easier said than done. So I have been trying to focus on other things rather than the scale.
So now to my NSV (non scale victory) as most of you know we have been hit with quite a bit of snow in TN.
I have actually went out the past 2 days and have been able to climb up and down hills, sled, run, and play in the snow with my kids. This is a huge accomplishment!! There is no way that I would have been able to do any of that 63 pounds heavier. I definitely wouldn't of been able to do it for upwards of an hour. I actually out lasted Anistyn (my 3 year old) climbing up and sledding down the hills. That says something considering she never stops moving.
I had fun with my kids and that makes my heart incredibly happy. It's the littlest of things that make you realize how beneficial weight loss and getting healthy can be. I've also realized a small plateau isn't always a bad thing. I got this!
