Non scale victory 🫶
Going to the doctor is always very stressful because I feel like it’s always been bad news for me. Today was different. Today my doctor looked at me and smiled. She told me I was doing well and my blood pressure was great. It feels good to be healthy. There’s still a lot of work to do but I’m just happy to be progressing.

In the journey toward better health, celebrating non-scale victories is crucial. These victories can be anything from feeling more energetic to receiving positive feedback from your healthcare provider. For many undergoing lifestyle changes, particularly in the bariatric community, the focus transcends just weight loss. Instead, it highlights improvements in overall health metrics like blood pressure or cholesterol levels. Sharing these experiences fosters a sense of community and support, as others can relate to the emotional ups and downs that come with personal journeys. Engaging with hashtags such as #vsgsurgery, #bariatriccommunity, and #myjourney allows individuals to find camaraderie among those who understand the importance of these achievements. It's vital to reflect on your progress and acknowledge how far you’ve come, even when traditional metrics might not depict it. Embracing vulnerability in discussing health challenges can lead to greater resilience and positivity. Remember, every small win contributes to your overall health and happiness.
