Default When the numbers don't go down,but your seat belt is looser..other ways to count.

I will be the first to admit that I thought I would be doing better than I am at his 'new'way of eating,and losing. I have been messing around with the same three numbers on the scale forever it's so frustrating,and it's really ticking me off...I know I'm not doing a perfect job..but I am close..so why? Last week,after another yoyo weigh in, my councelor said "let's measure you"..I am down the same amount of weight on the scale from a month ago..but, I'm down 6.5 inches lost..which is 5.5 inches MORE than when I hit this plateau. I wanted to let others know that:
***If the seat belt feels looser..It's because of you..not the seat belt.
***If that shirt that you always had to leave the bottom button open suddenly closes,& there's still room..it's not the shirt..it's you.
***If the jeans that fit tight a month ago,now zip with ease..it's not the jeans..it's you.
***When I told my husband that I havn't been in these jeans all yr. and he remarked back.."that's bcause you have so many jeans,you didn't get to these yet this yr."
***It's not the jeans, it's you.
No matter if your all alone as far as support is concerned at home it's all up to me..and when I succeed,which I will, if there is nobody at home to applaude me..then, I will applaude myself..it's up to me.
It's up to me to see the changes, to be proud of myself, to give myself all the praise,and support I need & I want..
***It's me.
***In the end,it's all about addressing,and fixing it myself..not to sound whimpy/whinny or anyting..but it does come down to one person. Me.
I will stay on this ...I will I will. And I thank you for being here, people that care,and listen,and praise...
***FALL DOWN,GET UP,FALL DOWN,GET UP..NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES.. FOCUSED

I always see a difference in my ankles and across my jaw line. I'm still waiting to hear back from the insurance company as to whether or not they'll pay for my jaw surgery. I'm looking forward to having a little neck fat sucked out at the same time. Keep your fngers crossed.

Great NSV on the seatbelt. Remins me..... I went to the movies last week with DH and when I sat down in the theater seat I hunted and hunted for the seatbelt. DH laughed and laughed. There had just been a car ad on the screen. No wonder we salivate everytime we see a food ad. Lucky for me it was just the car ad!!!
