I'm stepping on the scale, the same weight, but my clothes are loose, and especially an old pair of pants just falls off. But when the number on the scale doesn't change, I feel demotivated; honestly, I'm a bit confused. Should I trust the scale or the reflection in the mirror? Let's talk, what do you think is the real truth?
My daughter, the number on the scale isn't everything. You've built muscle, fat may have decreased. If your clothes are looser, you're on the right track. If you were my daughter, I'd tell you to listen to the mirror.
A close friend of mine said exactly this to me: 'Will the scale survive or will I?' That came to my mind when I read it. It's really a very valid point. I think the mirror is more important 😂
but did the fabric of those pants stretch? Some clothes widen over time. If the scale is stable, maybe the situation isn't as you think 😂
You might be retaining water, which is why you look the same weight. Have you ever measured your body fat percentage? It gives a clearer picture because sometimes muscle gain keeps the scale steady.
Let me also say, I've been using the same scale all this time, and the old pants had been in the closet for years. Even if the fabric has stretched, it shouldn't look this baggy, right?
I think there's another issue here: Has your eating pattern changed a lot? For example, even those who have given up salt or just cut out sugar notice such changes. Is there a situation like that with you?
