I am a woman who is tired of struggling with her weight. I have tried many times to lose the weight, but have been unsuccessful. On May 29, 2014, I decided to change my mind set and the way that I approach weight loss. I've decided to depend more on the "no scale victories (NSV) as opposed to the numbers on the scale. I have been on this journey for 7 weeks. I've lost 5.5 pounds and I am ecstatic. In the past, I would have given up because that wouldn't have been enough for the amount of work I was putting into my diet and exercise regimen. I have to remind myself that my body is going to do what it's going to do and that's just fact. I am thankful that I have lost the need to see the scale show drastic changes in numbers. If I plan to stay on this journey, I've got to have faith that it will happen and be willing to run the race to the end. Slow and steady is my motto for this lifetime
journey. Wishing everyone the best of luck!
