GROWTH & PROGRESS
For many years I focused my attention on the scales. I was addicted. An unhealthy addiction to the scales. Something that has stemmed from my eating disorder. I used to weigh myself twice a day. If I saw I hadn't lost or worse still gained I'd be devastated and disheartened and this usually led to a binge.
Up until last year I had gained a healthy relationship with my scales. Meaning that the number on the scales did not define me. It does not mean that all my hard work goes to waste. A number on the scales is only an indication not a validation (thanks Lauren).
I want each and every one of you who reads this post who relates to start focusing on progress more than scales. What might that be? Non-scale victories, a new PB, a new walking time, ANYTHING BUT THE SCALES!
Some of us tend to believe that progress in our journey is only determined by a loss or gain (depending on your goals) to be the main thing. Let me tell you folks, see these photos? I maybe 50kg lighter in the left but can you tell how much confidence I have gained?
Photos only show so much, but the inner progress of yourself and personal growth is worth so more and should be applauded for, regularly. 🙌🏻♥️👏🏻
I want you to do a little thinking and write below some wins/progress that you can think of since starting your journey.
Here are some of mine.
~ 6 months free from binge eating
~ Healthy relationship with food and exercise
~ My confidence has sky 🚀 through the roof
~ Able to eat in front of strangers
~ Self love for myself
~ Putting myself 1st 💯
