I think back on the number of times I jumped on the scale and waited with held breath for that thing to tell me something I considered good. And I remember the days I didn’t perceive the results as positive. It took me several years to figure out that the scale is simply a data gathering tool.
Have realistic expectations. In the beginning I literally thought I could lose over 150# in 3 months. Yes, I was that naive –Having or showing a lack of experience, judgement or information.
My personal experience , which I am elated to share with you is that it takes more time than most women are willing to invest in themselves but that doesn’t have to be YOU.
YOU can choose to be one of those women that resets your mind and commits to long-term success as opposed to a short-sighted solution.
Women in general give so much credit and power to the scale that they will literally throw away months of hard work and effort if that scale doesn’t tell them what they want to hear. I’ve been there. The scale does not dictate your success or perceived failure. STOP doing that to yourself!!
