THE WEIGHT-ING GAME

As a society I think we put weigh (see what I did there..) too much emphasis on how much you weigh. 

The amount of times I've stood in the gym and heard girls complaining about the fact they've tipped 9 stone something and it really makes you feel terrible (and they know it!)

I'm tall- 5ft 11 and I'm Never going to be under 10 stone- hell I'm not even close. I did contemplate writing my weight in here but don't think I'm quite there yet!! 

I think it is really important to remember that the scales really aren't important. When you first decide to make a change I do think you should weigh yourself- to get a reality check but nothing else. It was weighing myself after years of never knowing that encouraged me to carry on being healthy and exercising. Although it took me a month of exercising and being healthy before I would even step on them! 

Just like foot size, hair length and eyebrow re growth- weight is totally different for everyone. DONT GET HUNG UP ON IT- you don't walk around with a tshirt on saying 11 stone or anything. (No I'm not 11 stone either- I thought I wanted to be but I actually think I'd look a bit ill).

Also to those girls who weigh themselves everyday- stop it. STOP IT! You're body weight changes massively depending on all sorts of things- less is more! 

So I would go off two things: 

1. Clothes- your clothes know your body better than anyone. Buying my first size 14 for years was exciting but now i can't quite accept that some (SOME) size 10s fit ( I can't move but Obvs I buy them anyway). 

2. Body fat- we've heard it before- muscle weighs more than fat. You get to a certain point and end up weighing more but looking slimmer. Wierd but true. 

I also took some Measurements at the start of january this year so will report on how that's going.. Scales haven't changed but I do feel fitter eating clean. 

Sooooo use the scales as I guide and most definitely do not compare how much you weigh to other people. You can weigh the same and look completely different.
