Success
This is worth the read, not that long Mindful Eaters! Hugs Debbie
I just read an interesting Ebook written by Mark McGuinness, entitled Freedom, Money, Time and the Key to Creative Success. One of the most interesting statement made in that interesting read was the quote above.
We have talked about it here and I am sure you have experienced it in other areas of your life, as well. Success is harder than it looks. Look at any "overnight" success (the real ones -- not the viral, 15- minutes -of-fame ones) and you will see much more work went into their "overnight" than one is led to believe.
Even if you take the time to watch an hour Biography on someone who has created success, you will notice that they fill that hour up with a lot of living that isn't necessarily success just to get to the success story part.
Next time you are getting discouraged with results (in managing your weight or any other aspect of your life) remember:
Success is harder than it looks....for everyone...not just you :) Keep struggling through so you too can create the success part of your story.

Yep, we gotta remember that the scales don't tell the whole story. It just one unit of measure. If more people would just see the whole picture it would be easier for us on our minds.
I mean a scale doesn't tell you how much you walked or exercised, how you made the right food choices, how much water you drank...and more...yep I hate the scale. LOL
Lifestyle changes, moderation and exercise. Mindful Eating. Anything else and we would be yo-yo dieting once again. When you tell people you are not on a diet but lifestyle change it really does take the pressure off you. You want something have it, just in moderation. Not everyday either....the treats. Not stressing about food. Freedom!
So when someone asks your weight, instead tell them what you did...now that is success!
