I just wanted to have a little celebration of myself because I have been working very hard to lose weight this year and the scale hasn't really budged. I was definitely getting victories that I was dismissing like my old bras fitting again and looser clothes. I was so focused on the scale not moving that it felt like it was for nothing.

Yesterday I put on a rain jacket that had been quite tight when I bought it and it was suddenly loose. I measured a four inch difference. It just made me realise I had actually come a long way even though the scales hadn't moved. I'll probably tweak my diet slightly for more weight loss, but I just needed that wake-up call that it wasn't all for nothing.

I'm averaging 14k steps a day, eating healthy high protein meals, cutting out down on alcohol, and doing 8-10 hours of yoga a week. It's slow going, but progress is definitely happening.
