I struggled with disordered eating and scale obsession for many years. I can't get on a scale without it sending me into a spiral of anxious dispair, which is very hard for tracking weight loss! I have a chronic illness that has led me to gain much more weight than ever (both medication and the illness). I don't fit into my old clothes very well, if at all. So I've been taking a kind and gentle approach to weight loss over the last two months. Instead of tracking kg via a scale and becoming mentally debilitated by it, I decided to track cm lost. In some areas, the measuring tape doesn't move. And that's OK, I know it will take longer to see results in some areas. This approach has been so much better for my mental health.
To my small victory: I haven't measured for a month and I lost 3cm from my hips in that time! Which is 7cm over the last two months! I am very happy with this and it makes me want to keep going even more.
