Being a bigger girl and having so much weight I want/need to lose, it is harder to "tell" when you have lost a "chunk" of weight. Take me for example: I have lost 27 lbs. and some people can tell, but you still see a bigger girl in front of you. Now if someone who only needed to lose, we'll say 50 lbs and they have lost 27 lbs it would be a huge noticeable difference. Some people may even say she is a whole new person. Situations like that are frustrating and irritating. So what I am trying to do is notice the smaller things. By the smaller things I am referring to things that maybe only you (the one who losing the weight) may notice. I have the perfect example. TOWELS!!!! You have "regular" bath towels, beach towels, huge towels and hotel towels (we all know the size of a hotel towel is completely unrealistic). Now most people have "regular towels they use after a shower. I use to have the most kick ass towel that was a "huge" towel and it wrapped all around me and it was awesome. Sadly I forgot it NC, well more like I couldn't fit it in my suitcase, but either way. So, I am using one of my sisters towels. She has the typical "regular" towel. When I first got here I would wrap in it and it would not even close together, not even a little bit. Well, today when I showered and I got out and wrapped the towel around me I noticed something different. I noticed that when I went to close the towel it cover across both breast and part of my tummy. of course the part that wraps my hips will be awhile yet, I got some hips on me lol. When I felt that and saw that, it made me
smile a little brighter because there is the proof. It is like when your clothes start to fit a little looser, which mine are, you get excited. The proof does not always have to been on the scale and sometimes the "other" proof is way cooler.

You are completely right! Screw the number on the scale...it's nothing, but a thang! It's the other things that are the most motivating! You're doing awesome!
