I have been on this journey now for 2 months and a couple of weeks. In actuallity I have been on it for a chunk of my life. This time feels different. I am concentrating less and less on my weight loss and more on being healthy. I am defining healthy as exercising 5 times a week and following a low carb diet. My main focus has been on keeping my blood sugar levels in the appropriate range. The other day I went for a 7 mile run and it was overwhelmingly hot outside. I saw this trail and I reflected in the moment about the possibilities that exist each day, but often are overlooked. This train presented the opportunity to be explored and travelled. As I approach the end of the second month of the transformer my mind is in a positive place. I am not focusing on worry over how much I am losing and I have pushed past frustrating moments where I have not seen much change over the course of several weeks. Instead I have listened to my internal motivation which says I am getting stronger in my bootcamp classes, I am running longer distances, and becoming more confident in who I am. The weight will fall off over time and there is NEVER a quick fix.

Sign in to CommentGreat attitude! Scale weight is only one way to measure 'success' and you have definitely embraced a much bigger meaning than reaching a lower number on the scale =) Keep up the hard work!

It sounds like you're doing well at finding you while fighting the good fight of getting healthy. Its a daily reminder that even if you put in the effort, the weight will not magically disappear when we step on the scale. Slow slow slow. Keep it up and stay motivated!
