Don't Trust the Scale
I read the below in Lysa Terkeurst's book Made to Crave. It as a excerpt of a blog by a woman named Anne Jackson (http://flowerdust.net/2009/12/17/what-the-scale-didnt-say/)
Don't trust your scale! One of the things Brandon [her trainer] said to me is most people will attempt working out and eating better for about a month; when they don't see a big difference on the scale, they give up.
Truth be told, if you don't see a big difference on the scale in your first month, it doesn't mean much at all. My scale said, "All this effort and you've only lost a pound," and if I would have believed it, I would have given up.
Don't buy into what the scale says or doesn't say. Trust the effort you are putting into getting healthy. And keep going!
Not only are there changes going on in your body that you can't see, there are changes going on in your spirit - with your discipline, your courage, and your willpower. Keep going!
