The scale is not our friend!

I started thinking this morning about how much the scale we let the scale control how we feel on any given day!  Why do we let it affect how we feel about ourselves, what mood we are in, how we relate to others that day.  We beat ourselves up feel bad feel like we failed?  And all because of 3 little ###?  Why?  We don't give ourselves credit for how far we have come.  We act like well, I guess we have to go all the way back to the starting line.  Well, we don't!  It is going to take us a little longer to get to the finish line!  But who cares??  Why do we put so much pressure on ourselves?  Do we have a deadline?  I don't think so?  We make is seem like we do when we have a gain.  We need to focus on the good!  How far we have come.  We need to remember we didn't  get this way overnight.  We will get to the finish line we just cannot ever give up!  I know If you are any thing like me and my history of dieting you worry if you will eventually give up like you have every other time you have tried this.  I'm not going to let the scale tell me anymore. Give up!  Why bother!  You will never do it!  You can never stick to anything!  I'm not going to listen to that any more!  None of us should!  Every day we have and make choices.  Some are good some not so good.  Our goal is to have more good choices then bad.  If we can do that we will get to the finish line!!  We will do this just like so many others have we are no different the all those people who have reached their goal!!  We can do it too!

I need to start setting small goals I think when I try to focus on the finish line I get carried away.  I get scared!  I sabotage myself.  I did lose 2# of the weight I gained and plan on making better choices not letting FOOD & THE SCALE RULE ME!

Wish me luck!
