I'd like to get away from numbers entirely.
It's like that Bob Seger song: "I feel like a number ... I'm not a number ... d*mn it, I'm a (wo)man."

So true! I was just thinking about how before the holidays, I was getting a bit obsessive about body fat which I think is a function of me reaching a certain level of leanness. I feel a self-induced pressure to stay this lean. I kind of threw caution to the winds over the last few weeks and eased up on my diet (within reason) and was reminded about how it's all about balance. I mean, what's the point of doing all this, if I can't enjoy myself every once in awhile? I want to be healthy and lean but not at the expense of neglecting my husband, sons or turning my lifestyle upside down.
