📌 Save this for the day the scale makes you question everything 💜
Having a goal weight can keep you chasing the wrong thing.
Yes, some women may need to lose weight. But while you’re doing that, you should also be chasing strong.
Because the number you have in your head might not look the way you think it will.
I’ve been in this space for over 10 years and coaching women for 7+, and I keep seeing the same thing hold women back.
You attach yourself to a number because you think, “When I weigh that, I’ll finally look the way I want.”
But bodies don’t work like that.
I can look at two women who are the same height and the same weight, and their bodies can look completely different.
I can look at one woman who weighs more than another woman but looks leaner, stronger, and more defined.
The difference?
Muscle.
This is why the scale can’t be the only thing you chase.
Because the real question isn’t just, “How much do I weigh?”
It’s:
What is my body made of?
That is body composition.
More muscle. Less fat. Better strength. Better shape. Better energy. A body that doesn’t just get smaller, but actually changes.
And that takes time.
You don’t build muscle, change your shape, improve strength, and shift years of habits in two weeks.
But when you stop quitting because the scale didn’t reward you fast enough, you finally give your body the chance to change.
So yes, lose weight if that supports your health and goals.
But don’t only chase lighter.
Chase stronger. Chase muscle. Chase consistency. Chase the habits that change what your body is made of.
Because that’s where the results you actually want come from.
Comment READY if you’re ready to stop obsessing over the scale and start building a body that feels strong, lean, and capable.
