When the Scale Doesn't Move

I was able to weigh myself yesterday. I was so nervous and scared to do it, because I knew that there were numerous days this past month when I didn't give it my all and ate things I knew would cause me to binge and overeat.

Well, the scale showed that I gained a pound. Instantly I was so angry with myself that I wanted to cry. I didn't cry though, because that scale doesn't measure my self-worth and it doesn't truly measure my progress on this lifestyle change journey. I will not let it. So when the scale doesn't move, I could give up and throw in the towel, or I could get back up, dust myself off and try harder. I choose to do the second option, because throwing in the towel just wont cut it for this girl. Not anymore!

How do you handle setbacks on the scale?
