frustration circles...

I've been having one of those months where my scale is just not telling me what I deserve to hear. Its rough when you rely on the scale to reflect the effort you know you're putting in and I have to admit I had a tantrum about it and even some tears. I do know there are better ways to gauge short term weight loss than the scale every day - Mr C assures me I am trimmer and I swear my clothes are looser by the day. But, darn it, I want to see the kilos dwindling. I'm channelling every word of wisdom I've ever read on other blogs about not focussing on the numbers quite so much.

    I don't mean to blow my own horn by pointing you towards my own posts but I just wanted to let you know that I really do understand how frustrated you feel right now. The numbers WILL go down, I promise! Just keep going, get out of the comfort zone, mix it all up a bit, and don't give up!!! I know you can do it xx

  2. Thanks so much Phil - these posts are terrific and it helps no end to know I'm not alone in feeling this way and that, like you did, I can get past this and should not let this derail me - xx
