Sorry this reply post is so far down the line, I was at 2 mtb clinics this past weekend and have now caught up at work.

Aimee ... you question right, why does the number have the power to upset us? For me, I had to let go of wanting to be a certain weight, my goal was to get healthy inside and feel better overall. I had let myself go so far, that each 10 year age block added on 10-15 pounds with NO exercise. ARGH!!!When the clothes started to fit better and even drop a size ...I felt that was my success. Admittedly I began looking at the weight # ... when I saw the weight start to come off, but I still strive for better eating habits and more exercise.

I got very anal charting things ... it'd probably scare a normal person. But what I've been doing works for me, just strive to be healthy!
