So I went looking for dresses for my bridal shower today, but didn’t feel like trying any on, so rolled the dice and bought a few to try on at home. There’s nothing worse than buying stuff to try on at home that ends up being too small, then feeling like crap about yourself cos it doesn’t fit and you’re not the size you thought you were. Well today, the opposite happened and I am stoked and figured some of you may relate :)
It’s probably sacrilege here, but I don’t weigh myself. I’m a large human by nature - 5’9 female with the large bone structure of my Norwegian farmer ancestors and man hands to match. Over the last several years, I realized have a fucked up, unhealthy relationship with the numbers on a scale where even if my clothes fit better and I feel stronger and healthier, those dumb numbers have too much of an influence on me and will determine if I feel good or shitty about myself. Ignoring it won’t make it go away I know, and it’s something I need to work on but for now, fuck it. Why do it if it just makes me feel shitty?
I have finally gotten back into the habit of properly exercising every day and lifting at least 4 times a week after a long recovery from a few shoulder surgeries. I see a trainer twice a month to help me with said injury recovery and told her I don’t weigh myself and her response was ‘good! Fuck that.’.
Anywho - I can finally see my muscles are getting much more toned and I’m getting stronger and my clothes are getting looser so I thought screw it - and bought a bunch of dresses 2 sizes smaller than I’ve been for years. AND THEY FIIIIIIIITTTTT. And I’m friggin thrilled 😁
