I wrote about this briefly in my journal, but decided to expand on it a little in a thread to get more opinions and insight.
Through readings, observations and experience, I think I can comfortably say that many women out there live and die by the scale. The numbers are their friends, their enemies, their solice, their malace, their reason for being and in some infortunate cases, their reason for not being.
Personally, I fear the scale, and I think you should too. Wait, wait, wait. Don't neg me yet Hear me out.
I'm not scared of what the scale will read (numbers are meaningless to me and they should be to many others out there), but rather I'm scared of what it doesn't read.
The tiny, little stupid numbers don't reflect me. They don't reflect my hard work in the gym, my 20 lb dumbell curl, the giant sweat spot I left on the leg press machine, the increase in lean body mass and decrease in fat, the effort I put into perfecting a healthy meal plan that works for me and my body, the great feeling I get when people tell me I look like I've put on muscle and the elation I feel when I reach a personal best in a lift/squat/calorie intake (lol).
No little numbers on a machine are going to give you that information. So I think that we shouldn't judge ourselves using that stupid machine, it doesn't reflect who we are or how hard we work.
