It may look like I'm going slow but I'm just getting started.

Perspective

I have been beating myself up a lot (I know, what happened to the positive?) about not going down in weight. Despite exercising (some) and eating well (sometimes) I still am stuck. Oh I know I could actually stick to the eating 1700 calories a day and exercising at least 5 times a week for 45 minutes. But what fun would that be? So I've decided (once again, I think it's an annual thing) to ban the scale and just go on how I look and feel for a while. I can see changes in my body (and booty) that are not reflected in my overall weight. And I want to feel proud of these accomplishments without being bummed out by that stupid number. Plus I figure if I keep doing what I'm "supposed" to be doing then the weight will eventually go down to the magic number in my head!
