Weight is one aspect of your progress, not the total result. Of course itโs nice to see the numbers getting lower each week, but let's just take a moment to establish what it is that you really want.๐ค๐ญ
If I said to you โYou wonโt lose any weight, but youโll drop 2 dress sizes in the next 12 weeksโ, would you be happy? Of course you would. Therefore donโt get solely fixated on the numbers on that daunting box.
Although in some cases weight loss is important, I just want to highlight that itโs not the only factor along your health and fitness journey.
Itโs important that your relationship with the result, and more importantly your understanding of this result is of a healthy level.
Let me tell you why getting disheartened is not the reaction you need to have if you donโt see a reduction on the scales eadt week.
There are so many reasons why your body can fluctuate in weight day to day, and week to week.
And here are just 3 of them:
1- Fluctuations in fibre intakes can prolong the time it takes for food to move through the digestive system - this will increase your WEIGHT, not fat.
2. Peaks in carb intake can help replenish glycogen stores in the muscle tissue and liver. Storing glycogen increases WEIGHT, not fat.
3. If you weigh yourself in a dehydrated state, then again in a hydrated state, you will WEIGH more - Becase morenfluid = more weight.
So use scales as just an average, along with monthly progress photos, taking measurements and dress sizes to gauge your progress too.
I hope this post helps you today,
