Ok, so hitting a 6th wedding anniversary probably isn't a big deal, but something struck me that morning that I thought I'd share with you: I weigh what I weighed on my wedding day.

Although I'm heavier than I would like to be (gee, who doesn't say that), a light bulb went off overhead that while I'm not gaining, I'm maintaining and that's worth celebrating.  To weigh basically the same for 6 years should be something to celebrate.  While I did have a child (gained 48 there) and it took two years to get that pregnancy weight off, being able to wear the same clothing size is a moment to celebrate and an example of progress.  I didn't realize that something like that could be important or could be worth noting.  Now that I think about it, it sure feels like quite the accomplishment.

I bring this up because, as serial dieters, we spend out life looking at the scale hoping for it to go down without every pausing to enjoy when it stays the same.  I don't know about you but I need to start grasping that maintenance is something worth cheering about to.

Happy Maintenance,

Kimberlee
