I'm not budging with my weight. I reigned in my seasonal chocolate feasts a few weeks ago. My lowest weight since then said 149 lbs., but I've been actually weighing up to 152 pounds which I think is more accurate. No big deal, but why is it bugging me?? I would have laughed if anyone said this to me, but I'm feeling tunnel vision about it all. Maybe it's time to not weigh myself for a month and continue eating healthy as I am. Bad weekend weather has affected my ability to move around this past month, I think this is why i'm seeing no improvement and why I'm at a plateau. I can sympathize with folks who become obsessed with the scale, though. It's time to step back for a bit.

Hi Moufette123, My thinking went a bit crazy yesterday, stinking thinking! I guess I just don't feel 149 pounds. I just have to do my best. I don't weigh myself everyday but I randomly hop on the scale at different times of day per week to see my range of weights. I get what you're saying, I don't want to be number blind. I think the truth is that I'm as good as it gets at this point. I've lost 35 pounds, and this should be my natural weight. I feel the push to lose more because of my success, the competitiveness within me. But my God, I never thought that I could have gotten down to my pre-menopause weight last April when I started. And the truth is I eat healthy, lots of vegetables, fish, lean protein, and wholesome grains. My daily calories are about 1,200, my basal metabolic rate is only 1,400 now. I should feel proud with what I've accomplished and maintained. I'm trying to pep-talk myself! I'm 5'9", have an average frame. What bugs me is I still have a wider waist. But at least it doesn't look like I'm 5 months pregnant anymore and I can fit into regular clothing again, even if they're size large. It's such a blessing to wear normal clothes again. I don't want the weight to get ahead of me again, and I can't wait for my annual blood tests to see if my lipid numbers have improved. I'm wearing my size 31 Levi's again and they're snug, not tight. I would have been so grateful for this last year. And now I'm here, I feel like I should be more grateful. Hmmm, maybe I should be more mindful, and thank my lucky stars.
