A simple, "No thanks, not today!" works fine. (Or you can be clever, cute, and witty.)

(Trust me, I know all too well it's easier said than done.) You look amazing and I can't imagine you any thinner, and still healthy. You're doing everything right, and I definitely think there's truth to the change in metabolism thing.<br /><br />I have gone through the same thing, and there are times when I have a hard time letting go of what the scale says. It's very frustrating when you work out as much as we do and you still don't see the weight you would like. When I first went through my major weightloss 4 years ago, I was weighing on an older scale and had gotten down into the 'teens', according to that scale, where I remained happily for several years. When we upgraded to a digital scale about 8 months ago, it said I weighed 7 pounds more than I thought! And since I've been training for the marathon, over the past 6 months, according to said scale, I've actually gained another 6 pounds! Huh??? I've been obsessed with that number ever since, and I even ordered a book (which I have already read and started implementing) called "The Runner's Diet". I figure, I can't excercise any more than I do, so I must need to change how I eat. The weird thing is, the last couple of Sundays at church I've gotten comments from people telling me how thin I look, but I still feel fat. :(<br /><br />So, I can see where you're coming from, but from an outsider looking in, you're doing great, looking great and hopefully you feel great...and that's what matters.Priscillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02994751800920572002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7318317101036321334.post-81679097655793301742010-07-30T14:57:42.484-06:002010-07-30T14:57:42.484-06:00I haven't been to the doctor since my 6 week f...I haven't been to the doctor since my 6 week for that purpose. I hate OTHER people knowing how much I weigh. Isn't that a woman's secret, kind of like her age? <br />I'll join your depression party, if you'll take me. For no apparent reason, too. Heck, I'm depressed hearing other people are. Must be hormones.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14388142450894888198noreply@blogger.com
