I am still thinking about my long lost love: the scale. I miss her. I am happy that she is put away and I haven't thought once about going down to fetch her back. I realized today that I was missing the feedback. The scale is very sensitive to changes in our bodies. It records positive progress long before our clothes feel looser or our rings fall off our fingers or we feel like we can do more. I am trying to focus on all the positive things. I am very happy I am eating healthier and eating more proportionate portion sizes. I am excited about starting to exercise, my eye is still on the prize, aka the Disney half marathon 2006. Those things will have to be enough to see me through this early stage when encouragement is so important, but feedback (without the scale) is lacking.
