Letting go of the scale

Over the past year, my scale has been my biggest "friennemy". I was obsessed with the numbers that would show up whenever I would step on it. Often times, I would weigh two times a day to see how my body would react to my daily routines. I know how my weight changes through the week, how the lowest numbers would always show up on Sunday mornings, and the highest on Thursday nights... Don't know exactly why, but it was always like that! I know how my weight goes up right before my period too. (Oh the joy of being a woman!)

I have stopped counting calories a while ago, and I actually completely stopped looking at calories last week when I became vegan. I am ready to look past the numbers in food and just see food as food and not as a bunch of numbers. And I'm also ready to let go of the scale... 

I am not going to judge how I am feeling and how my body is feeling by numbers on a scale anymore. I have learned what I had to learn about food. and I have learned what I had to learn about staying active. I feel good in my body. My appearence matches who I've always been on the inside; I am a strong, confident woman who knows what she wants for her life. 

It is time to move on! I am no longer a loser; I am a maintainer. As long as my current clothes fit and I feel comfortable with the way I live my life, I'll still have reached my "goal weight". The only difference now is that that goal weight is not a number; it's a state of mind, and I've reached it.
