Forget the numbers.

It's all about the scale. Some people weigh once a month. Some people, once a week. Others, every day. I've heard of people who know precisely how their numbers fluctuate DURING the day. Why? Because they can't stay off the scale. The scale should not have this much power.

I'm so sick of the numbers. Last week at WI I gained thanks to TOM. Today I feel incredibly bloated for some strange reason, so I'll be lucky to get it back off, I fear. I'm ticked. I just finished venting this to my mother, and do you know what she said?
"But you've changed your whole lifestyle; that's what you're supposed to do!"

And I have. Some lifestyle changes I made while on flex, but these have happened since I've been on core:

I don't eat frozen dinners, I cook. (I learned how). I like fruit! I eat salad almost daily. I try new foods that sound weird and healthy...and like them. I drink milk. I eat when I'm hungry. I stop when I'm not. I hate fatty ground beef. Flavored yogurt tastes weird. I exercise. I try to be active. I started ice skating. I work out with friends rather than go out to eat with them.

I don't care what the scale says tonight, I know I'm on the right track.
