Weight Loss Much?

Hey all!

I went to lunch today and in the place I went to they have a scale you can weigh yourself on. Daring to be brave, I said, "Why not?" I haven't weighed myself in a little over a month which is sort of amazing for me. I was always one of those girls who was on a scale every day with no noticeable difference what-so-ever. Ever since I made the decision to get healthy and start eating more natural and nutritious things though, it hasn't seemed important because I have been focusing on health, not weight. Let me tell you how this scene played out. 

I left work, (after falling down a flight of steps because I am the most clumsy person in the world) and wondered why I am having such an off week. Now, I am just sore and crabby and my pride hurts. Maybe stepping on that scale was the unhealthy side of me coming out because I was so upset, I don't know. I got on and it seemed like it was taking forever. You know the scale on, "The Biggest Loser," that shows you around eight numbers before it will actually give you the weight you really are? Yeah, it was like that. So now I am crabby, and impatient. When it finally showed me the number, I didn't believe it. I stepped off the scale and tried again. SAME NUMBER.. 

Wait... but that means ... I have lost 10 pounds in a month ... I am not normally the type of person to share this kind of thing, I swear. Even when I do, I take it with a grain of salt because generally it is like three pounds and mostly water weight, right? I am so proud of that number you guys. I am proud because it means I am getting HEALTHIER, not skinny. You want to know my weight? As of January 1, 2014 I was 272 pounds. I am now 251. I know I have a very long way to go to be truly healthy, but I have never felt more proud of an amount in my life. 

So, I guess, my two points of advice for today would be this; Don't step on a scale everyday, it isn't healthy for any part of you, and it isn't natural. Two, going natural and organic truly does make a difference. If you have thought about trying it before and decided not to, I implore you to change your mind. I want you all to feel this way!
