Hello Lovelies,
Today I want to write about something I really believe in,
which is ignoring that number on the scales. I used to be very fixated to the
number on the scales and I would do anything to make it go down even just a little,
but for what? Just because the smaller number will mean I feel better about
myself?! Writing it down now really makes me understand how crazy that is.
Really my fitness journey was kicked off by seeing that
number. After I had been at university for a few months without scales I came
home stood on the scales and saw the biggest number I had ever seen on the
scales, which made me re-think everything and eventually start my fitness
journey. After a few months I had lost 7kg even though I was in no way overweight
when I started. Then I started lifting weights, gaining muscles and ignoring
the stupid scales. Today I weigh more than I did when I saw “the biggest number
ever”. But I am way healthier, way stronger, way leaner. I can run a lot faster,
I can lift a lot more and I am happier.
So if I ignore the scales how do I measure my fitness
success? PICTURES! Taking progress pictures is the best advice I can give anyone
wanted to change their bodies. Also taking a good “before” picture is
essential, your future-fitter self will thank you for it! I take progress
pictures probably every day, nearly. Because you will not realize all the
little changes that are going on in your body day after day, but if you
document it with great progress pictures you can look back on a bad day and see
how far you have actually already come, even if the scales has not moved much.

The picture below is my progress picture so far. And as you
can see I weigh more than I did two years ago when I decided to change my life
for the better. So what? I am happier.
Please share YOUR progress picture with me on Instagram using
the hashtag #debsterariella and of course don’t forget #ScrewTheScales
