Ko šiša vagu: Dokaz da su kilogrami samo broj

Vaga može da laže, odnosno da malo "iskrivi" istinu, a ova devojka je dokaz za to.

SCREW THE SCALE || I figured it was time for a friendly, yet firm reminder. YOU GUYS. PLEASEEEEEE STOP GETTING HUNG UP ON THE NUMBER ON THE STUPUD SCALE! PLEASE STOP THINKING YOUR WEIGHT EQUALS YOUR PROGRESS AND FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING PLEASE STOP LETTING YOR WEIGHT HAVE ANY AFFECT WHATSOEVER ON YOUR SELF ESTEEM, like I used to. To any of you who are where I once was, please listen to me. I am 5' 7" and weigh 140 lbs. When I first started #bbg I was 8 weeks post partum and 145 lbs. I weighed 130 before getting pregnant, so based on nothing besides my own warped perception, I decided my "goal weight" should be 122 and to fit into my skinniest jeans. Well after a few months of BBG and breastfeeding, I HIT IT and I fit into those size 0 jeans. Well guess what? I HAVE GAINED 18 POUNDS SINCE THEN. EIGHT FREAKING TEEN. Also, I have gone up two pant sizes and as a matter of fact I ripped those skinny jeans wide open just the other week trying to pull them up over my knees. My point?? According to my old self and flawed standards, I would be failing miserably. THANK GOODNESS I finally learned to start measuring my progress by things that matter -- strength, ability, endurance, health, and HAPPINESS. Take progress photos and videos. Record how many push-ups you can do, ect. And if you can, your BFP -- there is only a 5 lb difference between my starting and current weight, but my body composition has changed COMPLETELY. I have never had more muscle and less body fat than I do now. I have never been healthier than I am now. I have never been more comfortable in my own skin than I am now. And if I didn't say #screwthescale long ago, I would have gave up on my journey. So to the little teeny tiny voice in the back of my head that still said "wtf is this- not 140!?" last week when I stepped on the scale, I say SCREW. YOU. And I think you should probably say the same to your scale too. #byefelicia ⚖ . . #bbgprogress #transformationtuesday #fit #fitness #workout #fitmom #fitchick #fitfam #fitnesstransformation #beforeandafter #sweat #mysweatlife #girlswithmuscle #girlgains #strongnotskinny

Ona je postavila fotografiju koja je prikazuje kada je imala 65,7 kilograma, zatim 55 kilograma i na kraju 63,5 kilograma. Prva fotografija, na kojoj ima 65 kilograma, nastala je samo dva meseca nakon njenog porođaja, a zatim nekoliko meseci kasnije ona na kojoj je dostigla svoju željenu težinu - 55 kilograma. Treća fotka, gde Kelsi ima 63,5 kilograma, prikazuje je onako kako sada izgleda.

"Razlika između moje početne i trenutne kilaže je oko dva kilograma, ali kompozicija mog tela se potpuno promenila", objašnjava blogerka. "Nikada u životu nisam imala više mišića, a manje telesne masti, nego što je to sada slučaj. Nikada nisam bila zdravija nego sada".

Kelsi objašnjava da je dozvoljavala da broj kilograma utiče na njeno samopoštovanje, naročito što se tokom trudnoće ugojila malo više nego što je očekivala, pa je nakon toga bila očajna dok nije dostigla željenu težinu.

"Pre trudnoće sam imala oko 60 kilograma, pa sam tako, na osnovu neke svoje uvrnute pretpostavke, odlučila da je moja idealna težina 55 kilograma", kaže. Pet meseci nakon porođaja i dva meseca napornog treninga, uspela je da ostvari svoj cilj.

S obzirom na to da je vežbala, vremenom je izgradila mišićnu masu. Danas ima oko 8,5 kilograma više od onoga što je smatrala idealnom težinom, ali nosi odeću dva broja manju nego tada.

"Da se i dalje držim svojih starih, nenormalnih standarda, bila bih nezadovoljna. Hvala bogu, napokon sam naučila da svoj napredak sada merim prema parametrima koji su važni - snaga, izdržljivost, zdravlje, sreća", kaže blogerka, i dodaje da se nikada nije bolje osećala u svojoj koži.

Drugim rečima, ne dozvolite da brojevi koje vaga prikaže utiču na vaše samopouzdanje.
