Each to their own, I say
It all comes down to the individual and the composite of the body. For instance, I'm still edging into the 90's but I'm far more toned than I have ever been at this weight, so I tend to look a bit smaller than I actually am.
Something I struggle a lot with is appreciating what I have. I am always looking too far forward to a weight that is still significantly out of reach instead of being happy with what I've achieved and gradually chipping away at it. It's hard to gain perspective but still stay motivated about future goals. All a balance, I guess.
Well, I very nearly flung my scales over the verandah this morning
Even after my extremely light day yesterday, I am UP 1.2kg
But I know it's all to do with bloating etc, as can sometimes happen
Still very frustrating and demotivating to see those numbers on the scales.
Many people have told me to throw them out! I'm inclined to do so...or at least lock them away for awhile
I guess I find it's the easiest way of keeping track and making sure what I'm doing is working and that my body does not become complacent or plateau.
How does everyone overcome this? I find it very disheartening seeing a gain when I've been doing everything right. I know it will pass in time but it's hard to maintain that perspective in the moment
I think I'm just thoroughly frustrated as well because I am so close to the 80's, I feel like it's breathing down my neck, beckoning me...
I just have to have some patience I guess
