I've often joked that losing weight has been my second full-time job. I'd been a professional dieter since grade school.
Now I look at things a bit differently. It's not as much about the number on the scale as it is about overall health. I'm always looking for ways to get better, and set goals that don't ignore the scale, but don't use it as my only barometer of success.
