Frustrated by scale...Soooo close!

First I think' "Why oh why is 100 pounds dancing just out of my reach. It is like it is taunting me every morning when I weigh. So close!"

Then I remember that 99 pounds is pretty darn awesome too and I need stop stressing about the scale and enjoy this experience of living my life lighter.

Yesterday I chose the stairs at a parking garage instead of the elevator just because it was a nice day and I felt like walking more. That is way better than any number on the scale.

This month alone I have had many adventures I never would have had before...

Paintball with my friends and family....CHECK

Wearing a two piece swimsuit....CHECK

Buying size 6 pants :O ..... CHECK

Out all night dancing....CHECK

Screw you 100...I'm loving 99.

Hope you are all enjoying your day no matter what the scale says!

Suddenly I want to sing "Party like it's 1999" to you!!

Singing "Party like it's 2000" just doesn't have the same ring ;)

You're doing great!  Congratulations!!!!!

Thank you. Yes!  I will make that the sound track in my head until I hit that 100.  Great idea!

Size 6?!?!?!! That is freaking awesome! 99 pounds or 200, size 6 is proof enough!

Thank you chassibi!

Women's sizing is a bit wacky but yes a 6...in several different manufacturing labels, from several different stores, generally...size 6 fits correctly. Some size 6 are too tight...I even have one skirt (not elastic waist or anything) in a size 4!  I figure that is a fluke. 

Never in a million years would I ever have imagined I would be in a size 6.  Love it though it is all hazy dream like too.

You will get there so soon!  Look at how quickly you have lost the weight!  Just 5 months after surgery, and you are almost there.  I started at 265 also, and it took me most of a year to get to 100 pounds off.  Every pound now is a lot of work and time.  You should be so happy with your progress.  You will probably lose so much more.

I guess I have gotten spoiled by the scale doing magic quickly during these first months.  I am glad to do the work and I am sure I will get down more. I just have to be patient....and that is not my style. Thank you for the reminder that this does take more time now than it did at first.

What a great attitude to have!

I am REALLY trying hard to make my self talk more positive.  But I have a hard time remembering I have lost 173 lbs, and THAT isnt something to be upset about. 

Also, that duck is an asshole, but he speaks the truth!

It seems to me you are rocking this thing for the long haul!  You are doing flipping amazing! I can only aspire to grow up to be you.  I look forward to having two years under my belt and still be doing great.
