Why you SHOULDN'T worry about the scale!

So, I got on the scale on Sunday, and it TOLD me I weighed 2 pounds more than I did last week! What the h*ll is this? I said to myself... ok... breathe... it's got to be water weight, nothings changed... Now, I started out wearing size 30 or 32 jeans depending on the cut... managed to get down to size 26 so far... HOWEVER, a year (or so ago) I had bought a bunch of size 24 jeans at a clearance sale... some RocaWear, BabyPhat... CUTE jeans! Haven't been able to get into them to save my soul... not even wearing my beloved Spanx... Yesterday I was wearing my size 26 capri jeans... talk about baggy! I didn't need to undo them to use the restroom! Soooooo.... ( I know I'm making this into a long story! SORRY!) this morning I said to myself... Self... we're gonna try a pair of those 24's on... damn the scale and what it says... I don't want to wear baggy jeans today and I'm not in the mood for the Spanx either... So I grabbed a pair of jeans and put them on... ok... they fit in the reat and the thighs... but the button isn't wear it should be... I layed on the bed... I grabbed the table and did squats... I laid back on the bed... I pulled and I tugged and FINALLY I got the button buttoned and the zipper zipped!!!!! Soooooooooo.... the moral of this story is... just because the scale hasn't moved doesn't mean you haven't lost some inches!

That's why it's a good idea to take measurements. That way, those days that you feel like your not loosing, you pull out the measuring tape and measure yourself. You'll feel better!

 That's perfect, you are doing so well!  This very story is why I took measurements right before surgery.  Good for you!

Awesome

 Thank you ladies. I did take my measurements, and I take them again once a month. Now if I could only have that much patience to stay away from the scale!
