Non Scale Victory

 Well, I'm down to 298 today.  Been busy, but am making the effort to dedicate more time to me, which isn't easy at all.

I have a non-scale victory.  This mean old seamstress, who can't sew, was trying to blame my weight and fat body on how bad the dress she was making looks.  Normally this would make me cry my eyes out because I'd feel bad about my weight.  But honestly, I didn't let that woman get me down.  I've come too far and lost too much weight to let someone make me feel like I'm less just because of her lack of skill and abundance of fat prejudice.  I'd say it was more of a victory if I'd told her off, but I didn't have the heart to.  I just shrugged her off and tried to focus on the dress.  But I feel proud of myself in that I didn't let her get to me.

The other celebration in my mind is that I'm under 300.  I haven't psychologically accepted it yet, and probably won't until I've gone to Saturday still under 300.  But you guys will be privvy to the fact that I've been under 300 since Thursday.  

I am thrilled for your focus and pride.  You go Jane!!!!

By the way, congrats on the scale victory tooooooooo. 

 Haha, thank you Kathy!   I've made it to my 30th birthday under 300, and weighing less than when I gave birth to my son and started working at my current job five years ago.  =D

Good for you! You were able to keep a level head and not give that meannie YOUR power! Congrats on the under 300...Girl you better wrap your mind around the weight loss...you will find you can have a bounce in your step again. Well I do and i have only lost 16 lbs. Someone posted here "Walk As If" So I try my best to walk as if I am skinny, healhty, and under 200 lbs. I play my music when i go out on errands and rock to the beat of the music like everyone else. It feels ssooo good.
Have a great day!!!
