Non-scale victories?

October 25, 2006, 02:28 PM

The scale's not always moving, but you have some things to brag about! Let's hear them!

I'm proud of myself because I gave up Diet Coke!

That's right! You heard me!

So what are you proud of today?

Re: Non-scale victories?

I'm getting better at controlling my portion sizes at breakfast!

Dinner might still be an issue, but we'll work on that eventually.

Re: Non-scale victories?

a couple of posts ago I mentioned that my knees weren't "bouncing" off each other as I walk - today I was out doing the weekly grocery shopping and all's I kept thinking about was that its not just my knees anymore, there seems to be a small space between my legs above my knees! I am so happy! That means I will eventually have "thighs" as in two - not just one giant gloppy thigh - but two! wooooo hooooooo

Re: Non-scale victories?

There are two things I'm soooooooooo proud of
1) That I quit smoking and even though the scale showed that I gained, and it took me WEEKS to get it back off...I stayed true to my Atkins and I got off those awful cigarettes.
2) Irregardless of what the scale says...I'm in a size 12. WOO-Frickin-WHOOO I'm in a size 12!!!

Re: Non-scale victories?

I've lost so many inches in my shoulders and arms that I have to roll the sleeves of my bathrobe up so I can actually get my hands out far enough to type.

No stats. Not weighing anymore ever. Will post "before and after" pictures when I want to. The end.

Vigilance, not perfection.

Re: Non-scale victories?

I'm reading everyone's victories, and they're amazing!

I don't think I could give up Diet Coke. I'm glad I never started smoking because I know I'd never be able to kick that. That's a brutal addiction. Well done to stay on program. And well done being a size 12! *jealous* And I know I'd have a hard time passing on so much ice cream. That might help explain why I'm not a size 12. sigh.

And yay for rolling up sleeves in oversized cothes!
