“Your ideal size is the size that feels the best, at which you have the most energy, the best health, and the highest self-confidence and self-esteem.”
Some time ago I bumped into an article titled Choosing Your Ideal Size on the FamilyEducation website. The article had plenty of good points but the one I found particularly motivating was the importance of clothing. You know, taking that age old pair of jeans out of your closet and realizing that for the first time since the last ice age you actually fit into them.
“Scales scientifically measure your specific gravity in relationship to the earth. That’s all.”
I had been blindly staring at the number on my scale for weeks but on Friday I had a very thorough laundry day that left me with practically nothing to wear until my clothes would dry. So, I ventured into the depths of my closet. To those uncharted regions that contain a huge collection of depressing clothes from days gone by.
“Clothing sizes are an imprecise but highly effective guide to measuring your weight-loss success.”
Much to my surprise I came to notice that many of those clothes that I already thought I’d gotten rid of actually fit. Fit! Comfortably even.
Now I’m even more motivated to continue with my diet!
