Perspective helps

So, I'm trying to believe what I tell you all - Size is just a number. My worth is not measured by what the scale tells me. How I feel is more important than how I look.
Yeah, it's just as hard for me to assimilate as it is for you. But I'm working on it. Because it's all true.
I run, and work out, and eat healthy food. I work, and play with my kids at the park. My husband tells me that I'm beautiful and sexy - sometimes I even believe him!
So ok, I'm not a size 4, or 6, or even 8. I'm not my goal weight of 170 lbs. To be fair to myself, I have to say that at my goal I won't be any of those sizes, either. The smallest I get is about a 12. I'm ok with that.
And so that puts it in better perspective for me. That's 3 pant sizes from where I am now. And that's much less intimidating than thinking of it in pounds.
