“Change the way you look at things and
the things you look at change.”
― Wayne W. Dyer

If we constantly use the scale to determine our success as a person, we will most often be disappointed. Weight-loss happens on it’s own schedule…..all we have control over is our behaviors.

Someone recently asked me when she will get to the point where she doesn’t have to keep “starting over” when it comes to weight loss. It’s a thought provoking question and the answer is….NEVER.

It doesn’t matter if you’ve lost 5 pounds or 50 pounds, each day, you wake up and start fresh. If we continue to look at this process as a means to an end, in other words, a diet, it will feel daunting and pretty depressing.

This is our life and we get to choose how we live it. Our worth is NOT based on a number on the scale and our mood or outlook on our day shouldn’t be either. We are all so much more than that and we don’t want to spoil all the incredible gifts we’ve been given in this life by feeling bad about not being at a certain number on the scale.

I love the above quote by Wayne Dyer because it rings so very true. When you go out to exercise today or you choose a piece of fruit over a candy bar….do it because it feels good and it’s good for your body. Make the healthier choices not just because you are on Weight Watchers, but because you respect yourself just as you are right this minute.

All IS well!
