Sometimes, when dieting, you notice changes in your waistline before your weight.

The numbers on the scale haven't moved much for a few days, but the pants felt a little different when I put them on.

In the past, it felt stuffy after buttoning the waist, but recently, it feels more comfortable than before, even when sitting.

It seems that these changes are easy to miss when checking only weight.

From now on, rather than focusing on just one number, I plan to check for changes in things like the fit of my clothes and waist circumference as well.
