The scale is no longer my "Frienemie"

It is so typical of me to take a negative situation and turn it into a positive one.  And, that is what I did when it came to the scale.  Up until last week I considered the scale as my "frienemie".  It was my BFF when the numbers on it were moving downward and my worst enemy when ever it didn't.  I soon realized that the scale was actually my friend, my own personal live-in trainer and, a great weight loss tool ever invented!  (Well maybe I won't go that far) LOL.

A few weeks ago I got very emotional because it felt like I was giving it my all but the scale hadn't move in a month.  Well that has all changed and the scale is definitely moving again!! :-)  I no longer allow the scale to take control over me in a negative way. Today,  I absolutely love and look forward to getting on the scale daily or weekly now.  It allows me to see if my weight loss plan is working or not. When the numbers on it aren't moving or steady creeping up (within a two week time frame), I know it is now time to change it up and take it to the next level.    Not only does it tell me when "it is time to change it up" but also "keep it up you are on to something" (like these last two weeks) or (hopefully soon rather then later) "it is now okay to cry and jump for joy, you have reached your goal!!!" :-)

I hope my experiences and now new understanding of the scale could better help you to reach your goal!! :-)

Best regards,

Keiyana :-)

  3. Hi, Finding Me. I just started a weight loss blog and I am not sure how to create traffic. I was wondering if maybe you could refer me to a group where I could promote it. Thanks!
