FOCUS ON HEALTH NOT NUMBERS

😞This was once me, I weighed myself everyday often disheartened at the number showing on the screen not moving. A personal trainer showed me the scales don’t need to rule my day!

😀Now as A PERSONAL TRAINER I’m aware where once I weighed 50kg age 20 I’m now about 58kg age 51 (according to the doctors scales) as I don't own a set of scales now.

‼️BUT I still wear ‪the same size‬ clothing. So although I’m almost 10kg heavier, I am fitter, stronger & healthier than in my 20’s. I also carry more muscle.

⚖️ The scales do not tell the whole story. I know now when I’ve pushed the portion sizes up, had too much to drink or eaten sweet treats (Christmas time), by the feel of my clothes.

😞I don’t get the same level of despair. So if you weigh yourself, ask yourself do you really need to know about 100g or is there another way.

⚖️The scales can also show variations based on time of day as proven in research where they weighed a person throughout the day and was up & down!

⚖️If you think you’ll struggle to ditch the scales then get a family member to hide them. Or see if you can stay off them for January.

✔️Then FOCUS ON YOUR HEALTH NOT A NUMBER. Look at improving your food choices to

✔️more Green

✔️more fresh

✔️more water

✔️more vegetables grown above ground

✔️more herbs & spices not sauces

✔️more protein ...not processed

♥️Enjoy what’s in your green grocer & butcher not what’s in the middle of the supermarket!
