I am almost 20 pounds down. I started with going to the gym a few days a week and starting Weight Watchers, but things have happened and I haven't been able to go to the gym as much (hurt back), and I haven't been following WW at all for weeks now. But I am still losing weight, or at least the scale is telling me I am losing weight.
I am probably making better decisions that I used to, such as drinking much, MUCH less soda and just eating less in general. Plus, even though there is a lot I can't do right now at the gym, I am doing what I can and I take my dog to the park and walk around almost daily. Not a lot, but a little.
And yet...my brain isn't accepting what the scale is telling me. I somehow feel like the scale is wrong or broken (it isn't; my roommate is using the same scale and it is only a couple months old). I don't see it on my body at all, and 20 pounds is fairly significant. I didn't take pictures at the beginning, which I probably should do now so I can see the differences. I still just feel gross and ugly and like I am failing. But the scale is saying otherwise. I should feel proud of what I have accomplished, shouldn't I? It's a great start, more than I have done in the past. It shows that it is possible for me to reach my goals. And the fact that I am not having to strictly diet and work out a ton should make me feel relieved. I guess I just don't feel like I have "earned" it.
Has anyone else struggled with this? Do you have any advice?
