Awwwwwww Elana!! Thank you so much!!!

Let me tell you ALL you whackjobs (kidding!!!) who weigh everyday a little

secret....when you let that flippin scale become a part of your daily life

you are letting it have farrrrrrrrrrr too much control over your feelings and

in all liklihood your actions as well. Meaning...if you have a ''retaining

water day'' and youre up a few lbs as women can sometimes be.....and it

effects your mindset....and then effects your mood ..and then lets you slip

into ''well Im up anyway so I may as well have (insert high fat high sugar no

nutrition snack/meal/binge here)'' ....then what good does that do you?

NONE!!! And far MORE IMPORTANTLY and I cannot stress this enough

yall.......that number on the scale is PART of who you are its NOTTTTTT who

you are. Dont give 3 little stinking ass numbers more power then they

deserve!! This is from someone who in alllll previous attempts to lose

weight/get healthy worshipped at the alter of a scale almost daily and mmmmmm

you can see what I am fighting back from now....right? So put those scales up

and use them weekly at the MOST and I guarantee you will lessen the ''hold''

those numbers have on you. PLUS when you only weigh weekly/monthly those

dastardly water days wont effect you so much b/c unless youre reallllllllly

bloated you wont even notice them!!! Ahhhh well ...just my thoughts!! I am

sooooo glad to hear youre doing well Elana and really happy you had a good

night out w/ hubby AND had good food days too!! YAY YOU!!! Keep on keeping on

with us Elana!!! Youre doing fab!!!

Hugs

Shan
