I’m happy to report that the scale and I have reached a truce. We are now back on speaking terms. Our relationship is volatile and there are likely to be many more tense moments, but for now things are good. Not as good as I had hoped, but defninitely better than they were.
And while there’s no new loss to report, I have to keep in mind that overall I’ve lost over 25 lbs. and have mainly kept it off since October. That in itself is good news and more progress than I’ve enjoyed on any other diet I’ve tried. I’m below my pregnancy weight with both my children, I’m exercising more regularly and seeing results from it, and I’m enjoying a much healthier lifestyle. There’s still progress to be made, but I can’t lose sight of how far I’ve already come.
So what if I’m just “hanging out” for awhile on the beach? It’s not a bad place to be.
