* if you started your fitness journey in January and are starting to get unmotivated because of what you perceive to be lack of progress because the scale isn’t moving you need to hear this* ⚖️
As a person who allowed a weighing scales to dictate their mood, self worth and value on a daily basis for years I know how easily it is to get into a rut but I also know how hard it is to switch the voice in your head off when someone says to you to stop looking at the scales or throw it away. It’s not that easy. But it is true and it’s a relationship you must break. In this day and age there is still an obsession with the scales, the number it gives you, the power it carries for some and of course the negative feelings non movement of said scales brings to a person and how someone uses that to indicate their progress.
Listen up, folks, the number on the scale is NOT the be-all and end-all of your fitness journey. It's time we stop fixating on it and start focusing on how we feel in our own bodies. You see, the scale doesn't tell the whole story. It doesn't take into account your muscle mass, body composition, or overall health and wellbeing.
Sure, weight can be an important factor for some people, but it's not the only measure of success. The truth is, when you're eating better, sleeping better, exercising more, have more energy, and generally feel better than before, THAT is the true indicator of progress.
At the end of the day, your fitness journey is about YOU and your personal goals. It's about feeling confident, strong, and healthy in your own skin. So let's stop worrying about the scales and start focusing on the things that really matter - like improving our overall health and wellbeing. Trust me, the results will speak for themselves. Keep up the hard work, and let's crush those fitness goals together!
