I have been emmersing myself in knowledge of all things crossfit and paleo for weeks and weeks now. One of the biggest changes I have had to adjust to is to stop worrying about what I weigh. I once read somewhere that the only reason you should know your weight is if it is needed for a WOD. Apart from that it's irrelevant.
I failed at this at first and was SO disheartened that I was doing crossfit and eating clean 90% of the time and yet the numbers were not budging. Then the battery died in my scales and thought it was now a great time to pack them away. Out of site out of mind.
I no longer care what that number is. The only thing I care about is what my body composition is . Today I am wearing a pair of jeans that I literally could not squeeze myself into a month ago. Now they are loose and I do not have the dreaded muffin top I once sported in this outfit.
A girl at work commented at how much weight i'd lost. Normally this would have made my day. I was actually a bit sad cause I want people to notice i'm getting fitter and stronger not skinnier!
My advise to anyone out there is throw out the scales, stop weighing yourself and your food, and start eating like the cavemen (or cave woman) would have.
Done -I also have to stop obsessing about the weight. Old habits...
ReplyDeleteAlso inspired to not stand on the scales (Every Morning- Sometimes twice if I don't like the first no!)...No more!
ReplyDeleteYay! Go you 2 girls! F the scales. F womens magazines that promote size 0 figures. I know i'd rather be an elite crossfitter than a lanky chick who can't lift a weight!
ReplyDeleteYay! i threw out the scales today, well maybe not exactly thrown away but certainly hid them for a while. It was crapping me off not seeing the number go down but seeing my body change. x
