Most people hate getting on that small object in your bathroom with the numbers up top... the scale, stares me in the face every time i go to the bathroom. If you're like me you weight yourself every morning, THIS MUST STOP!!! Out of all the bad habits I acquired trying to lose weight and stay in shape this is the one that I am still struggling to break. We have to come to the realization the muscle weighs more than fat. Even though we hear this over and over the minute the scale goes up a few pounds we get worried.
Here is a comparison of muscle vs. fat:
IT'S JUST A NUMBER!! If you are eating right and working out your body will take care of the rest. Lets start going off looks and feel, if you are looking better and feeling better then whats a number on the scale to tell you you're not making progress?! The scale will fluctuate so much, it's not a very accurate way to tack your progress. just by drinking a few glasses of water you will gain, Every one knows water weighs 8lbs per gallon, if you drink the recommended and then get on the scale at the end of the day you will be highly discouraged, trust me! What we should be looking at are inches lost and BMI. Invest in tape measure and get your body fat tested, this will give you a more accurate reading of the weight you have lost and where you have lost it from! Lets move from this unhealthy obsession of watching the scale to an accurate reading of our progress!! Don't take that number to heart, take a look in the mirror to really see what you have accomplished
