How do you measure????

So, over this last week I've been counting my calories. Normally this could be a very dangerous thing for me, if I were also weighing myself. But, since I'm not, I figured, why not?

So I signed up for a little app where you put your daily food totals in, and then it tallies it all up for you. Easy enough, right? 

Well here's my pickle.....how do I know if counting calories is really working if I can't step on the scale? Should I do measurements? If so, how often? Or should I just go by how I feel and how my clothes feel? 

I'm a few days into this calorie counting, and I must confess, I'm starting to stress a bit! I mean, I'm eating healthy and within the range of calories I'm allowed. I'm not depriving myself of cravings, so that I can prevent binge eating. This is also helping with those twinges of emotional eating I've been getting (I miss my man, ya'll). So, why am I stressing?

Here's my question to my readers....the few I have.....how do you measure your weight loss? By scale? Tape measure? The way your pants feel? The way you feel? 

Thanks for reading, and here's to more soul searching!

Don't forget to leave me comments to my questions :)
