Weigh-In Wednesday: perspective?

This morning I had a whole post written in my head after I stepped on the scale and entered my (again higher) weight into MFP.  You see, they've now added a feature where you can see your "progress" from the whole year.  That little graphic only further emphasized in me how much I've screwed up my weight this year - to the tune of over 12 pounds.

I posted something about it on FB and I was reminded by a number of my friends that I've done a lot this year that's been good. It doesn't take away the disappointment and disgust I feel over gaining 12 pounds this year (on top of already being over what my ideal weight should be), but it does give me a bit of perspective that there is more to me than the stupid number on the scale and what's written on my jeans.

Then, I saw this on FB and it made me smile because maybe my mood has to do with the fact that it's almost April and we are still getting snow.

Who's with me?
