I hate the scales

Over the last few months I have learned that using scales is a waste of time and yet, why on earth can't I stop using them?

I have a mother who is totally obsessed and the world would end if she cannot weigh herself every day. That is all she talks about, weight and food. I promised myself I did not want to be like her. Yet here I am, using the scales every day.

And I know that weight fluctuates so much and you cannot judge exactly what is happening with your body by a number in the scales.

One thing you learn at Crossfit, is that your body will change and you will weigh a lot more but look better. Crossfit makes you develop a lot of muscle and a lot of strength.

This photo keeps propping up and being shared by all my Crossfit friends:

And yet, I still check every morning...

However, I now check for different reasons. My aim is to keep the weight the same. Increase muscle and strength whilst reducing the fat in my body. I know I am getting stronger as the exercises at Crossfit are proving.

So when I look at myself in my full length mirror, I know there is work to be done, but man!!! Don't I look gorgeous!

Oh yes... I hate the scales... and at some point I will just bin them... I just have a while to go yet.

Enjoy the exercise!
