Non-Scale Victories Are What Matters

Non-Scale Victories or NSV for short are the biggest part of your weight loss. Yes, you heard me right. The scale is a lying asshole and I am here to tell you why.

March 25th I started a new 30-day program. It involved 30 days of proper nutrition and portion control. I have a big overeating problem, I love my food. Then I added in 21 days of working out every day for 30 minutes.

Proper Eating + Exercise = WEIGHTLOSS!! Well that is what one would think, but like I said above the scale in a lying asshole and this is why we have non-scale victories.

Non-Scale Victories

At the end of my program, I had only lost 1 pound. I won’t lie, I cried. All that work for what? For nothing!! I fell down the self-pity hole. Ordered poutine, had a chocolate bar and lounged in bed all day. Completely ready to throw in the towel.

But then I remembered about NSV. I got out of bed and broke out the measuring tape. Guess what… I had lost 5.5 inches. My clothes were fitting better… Hello size 10 jeans, goodbye size 14 jeans. Hello, new hole punched in my belt.

Not only that but I was honestly feeling better than I had in years. I was getting more accomplished around the house. I was more present with my family. Oh and those 3 flights of stairs in my house, they no longer owned me, I owned them and climbed them no problem and without being out of breath.

So yes according to the scale the month was a total flop. But those non-scale victories were singing my praises. I got off the self-pity train and started my 21-day exercise program all over again (yes, I love it that much I am doing it again).

So remember, the scale is not your friend 90% of the time. Muscle weighs more than fat and your clothes and how you feel are the true measurement of change.

The Last Battle If it should be that I grow frail The Last Battle

If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done,
For this — the last battle — can't be won.
You will be sad I understand,
But don't let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.

We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
Take me to where to my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.

I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must be you
Who has to decide this thing to do;
We've been so close — we two — these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

Did your doctor tell you this is normal or give you a diagnosis you didn't agree with?

6 years ago we were told our youngest son had ADHD. I did not agree but was not able to get a second opinion. YAY a doctor shortage in Ontario. 

A blessing to our move is we ended up getting a doctor who listened to us. After 6 long years we finally got our autism diagnosis. 

A new blog post is up (link in bio) that explains how we knew it wasn't the ADHD diagnosis we were given.
