Re: Fell off the wagon

I've been juice fasting on and off for about two months now. I don't know how much I've lost - if any at all - since I don't have a scale. I've been marking weight loss or slimmed down-edness by clothing fit and size, which for me is what I'm really aiming for.

I started my fasting by barely fitting into a size 18 skirt suit. Now my favorite size 14 skirt suit is a little loose, but not baggy by any means. Other clothes have also been loose/baggy, but there's still a bunch of stuff that I don't fit back into - my 501s for one! Those 501s are the next goal. :-)

I realized a while ago that I would obsess daily on ounces and pounds going up and down on my scale, weighed myself every day, and would feel good or bad about myself simply because of a number on a unit. When I realized that this was unhealthy and counterproductive for what I was really trying to do, which is feel and look healthy and beautiful, I threw out my scale. Now I concentrate more on how I feel, how my body looks, and the clothing I can fit into and how it looks on me. For me, this is a much more healthy attitude.
