Non Scale Victories (“NSV’s”)
The number on the scale is NOT the only measure of your success.
Make a list of your own “Non Scale Victories” as they occur. You’ll be glad you did. You can refer back to the list in times you feel discouraged.
Here are some examples:

- You can shave your legs without a struggle or mirror.
- You make it up the stairs without breaking a sweat.
- You are not embarrassed to take a picture.
