I logged in today to discuss my motivation for losing weight and I realized that a little over two years ago was my last blog post on here in which I said I had met I goal for weight loss and no longer chose to be motivated by the scale. Since that time by not being motivated by the scale I lost sight of my weight and gained a lot of it back. Now I'm working on getting back to where I was two years ago hoping that maintaining my motivation not of the scale but of the life I want to live. The scale keeps me focused this time it's not about being a certain number on the scale. I weighed in today with a couple of other members of my gym both of which were at my goal weight now but have more work to do in their eyes. I see it's not a number on the scale but a comfort with who you are, feeling good in your own skin being comfortable with your reflection. Knowing that there's more to you and what you to see and that reflection understanding what is healthy and what is good what is right for you. I'm not going to say that I've made it by the scale I motivated by the scale as a measurement of how far I've come and how far I have to go.
The things I want from my journey is to feel comfortable in my own skin I want to feel proud of who look like. I want that person to look like how I feel on the inside strong in control with willpower.
I want to be somebody who can agree to any adventure without feeling like questioning "Can I actually do that?" You want to go for a 5 mile bike ride?" Sure I just jump on my bike and go. "Do you want to go for a hike up the Billygoat Trail at Great Falls?" Sure I can just go and not have wobbly ankles and a weak core. I don't want my weakness to limit me I don't want my low stamina to limit me.
I admit I have a certain number in mind that I want to see on the scale but more than that I have a lifestyle in mind that I want to live! I want to be able to choose to do anything I want to do!
