The scale is only one measure of success on your weight loss journey.  Most people ONLY focus on that one measurement.  Why is that a problem?  Well, the scale will NOT show a loss each week.  Hormones, water retention, stress, bathroom issues, etc. can all affect the number on the scale and won’t reflect the efforts you are putting into your weight loss.  Looking to the scale for validation of your efforts is a recipe for disappointment and discouragement.  Use this list of 100 non-scale victories to celebrate to acknowledge your efforts even when the scale might not.

Habits

Changes in outer body appearance

Changes to inner body

There are so many ways to acknowledge and celebrate the positive changes you are making along your weight loss journey.  Remember that celebrating what you are doing right on your journey will increase the motivation you have to continue to make positive changes.
