How a comment can change your outlook


I don't have much time, but I wanted to share something that happened to me this morning. 

Ok- let's take a quick step back. The scale wasn't my friend on Saturday. In fact, when I got on and saw a .2 lb loss, I was downright SALTY! I know I put in the work. I KNOW I stayed within points. It was frustrating. 

Well, there was a part of me on Saturday that was tempted to just give in, but I didn't. I ended up being sick on Sunday, Monday and most of Tuesday this week. With being sick, it left my husband in control of my meals. I ate crackers, turkey, cheese, soup, and on Sunday night.....DOMINOS! Eek. 

I tracked it all and I feel like I'm coming out on the other side of this sickness with an overall satisfaction of staying on track. My pants are feeling looser and I am feeling better.

This morning, my co-worker (and fellow WW'er) came up to me and said- "You did it - didn't you?" I asked "What?" She replied "You hit the 10 lbs lost, right? I can see it in your face." It was an AWESOME comment and I needed it, because NO, I have not hit my 10 lb mark, I am only at 4.5 lbs, but it made my DAY!

It reminded me that even when the number on the scale isn't cooperating, there's still progress being made!
