Beyond The Number On The Bathroom Scale

What is the best way to measure progress? When the goal is weight loss, of course the number on the bathroom scale is the obvious choice. But is your intention to lose weight, or to lose weight and keep it off? If it is the latter, than it's important to evaluate your success beyond the number on the bathroom scale. What were the unhelpful habits that led to your weight gain? What new, healthy habits have you been practicing? How has your lifestyle changed? What improvements do you notice? For example, more restful sleep, less indigestion, greater energy, fewer cravings, enhanced mental clarity, decreased mood swings? Record all of the ways that you are making progress -- beyond the number on the bathroom scale!

Write an affirmation right now:
I am grateful for (improvements), and I know more positive results are on the way!
