Comments on: Now Why’d I Go and Do That? http://ronisweigh.com/2009/09/now-whyd-i-go-and-do-that.html One Mom's Journey from Fat to Skinny to Healthy. Thu, 24 May 2012 10:31:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Tiger http://ronisweigh.com/2009/09/now-whyd-i-go-and-do-that.html/comment-page-1#comment-22481 Tiger Tue, 29 Sep 2009 07:31:38 +0000 http://ronisweigh.com/?p=4004#comment-22481 I have a confession. As I've been following your blog for a few years, I was always obessed with your weigh-ins. I remember the summer when you slipped from the 130's into the 140s. It was like a soap opera when I would check in to see when you'd get back down. This was all because I was going through the same thing, just in a different number decade (my little term for every 10 lbs, a decade cus it seems to take at least one to move down) It is just a number game. I think of what I weighed before I got pregnant with my 5 month old baby and how happy I felt (kinda, still the not knowing how to accept myself in my new shell) at that weight, and the funny thing is I weighed 10 lbs less than I did in high school (where I thought I was a big fatty, was in worse shape and looked bigger than I do now!) It's all relative. Can you believe how insane it is that we are programmed to think like that?? I look at your pictures and you are so beautiful and healthy (and beautiful because you're healthy.) Honestly, those pictures at the WW conference are stunning. I think you outshined the celeb who was there. Number games are inherently flawed. Ask any gambler. I have a confession.

I wish I could fully embrace this concept, but I am still tied to the scale and its daily reading. Congrats Roni on realizing the scale doesn’t matter.

You look great...probably better and healthier than at 135. We just have to get past the numbers! You are a tall girl…149 is not a bad weight for you!

Why the constant temptation to always define ourselves based on something outside of us?! You are strong, healthy, fit and beautiful AND that's from the inside out... that's what's real. And I also think it's pretty cool to see how far you've come in the sense that as soon as your brain wants to slip into old, conditioned, thought patterns (ie. the number on the scale defines me) you catch yourself and change it. Now that's something to be proud of. It's like the new Roni just has to remind the old Roni that we don't play that game anymore. I think you're amazing and I know the rest of your readers do as well! Damn scales! Why the constant temptation to always define ourselves based on something outside of us?!

You've already reached your goal weight and developed a healthier lifestyle in the process. I wouldn't throw the scale away - but maybe hid it really well ;-) Amen Sista!!
