As I sit at the foot of my bed on my cedar chest petting my kitty, I realize I would not have sat here eight sizes ago. Eight sizes ago I was too afraid my weight would break the cedar chest. But not today. Today I sit here without hesitation and focus only on giving Ginger kitty my full attention, which she appreciates.
It is in these brief moments of time that I appreciate changes in my life that I hadn't noticed before. I refer to these moments as a non-scale
victories. In this moment, I pause to appreciate the size I am today and I'm happy right where I am in this moment.
I've experienced a gamut of non-scale victories as I dropped weight. Being able to sit with my legs crossed was a small victory compared to running a 5k. Both are on my victory scale.
I didn't run around to all my friends and announce:
Today I embrace my size.
Today I will stop focusing on wanting to be a different size and use that energy in other ways.
I am not giving up my desire to reach my goal size. I give time to that in my visualizations and then I focus on other things in life. I no longer live in-between where I am today and where I want to be--I live in the moment.
What about the you? Have you had any non-victory scale moments lately? I'd love to hear them.
This video sheds light on embracing your size. I hope it inspires you the way it inspires me.

I didn't run around to all my friends and announce:
I can sit with my legs crossed!I wanted to, but I didn't. Instead, I posted that experience to this blog, because I know many of you can appreciate this kind of non-scale victory.
I can sit with my legs crossed!
I can sit with my legs crossed!
Today I embrace my size.
