I'm think I'm getting results, but the weighing scales say otherwise!

After 20 years I'm not giving up...

here goes, imagine this...

You have been on a good run with your lifestyle...

The natural healthy food consumed per week is way more than the unhealthy processed...

You have even started having modest portion sizes...

And fitting in exercise at least a couple of times per week...

Increasing your water intake...

On this particular day you try on an item of clothing that you have been wanting to fit into for ages...

And it fits! You don't even need to fight with it or pull a face...

You catch a glimpse of your reflection and instead of feeling deflated you actually think "not bad"...

There is a spring in your step...

Family and friends start to notice and are interestedly asking what you are doing...

It's been a few weeks since you weighed yourself (yeah I know, just keep imagining)...

You decide to step on the scales, you have already planned the little jig you are going to do...

You excitedly look down, the scale says you have lost the grand total of 0.2 kg's...

Confused and dejected, immediately your mood changes and you feel unhappy that 0.2 kg's is the result of your hard work...

What the scales don't tell you is your water and muscle are up, increasing your metabolism making it harder to over consume...

Not to mention the 3kg's of body fat shed (at the super market have a look at how much room 6lbs of lard takes up and that's what you have accumulatively shed from your body and why clothes fit better)...

The point of the email; weigh yourself but remember it's only telling you so much...

Focus more on the clothes, your energy, how you feel, that will tell you the results you are actually getting.

You can do this!
Until next week,
Ed.
