I’d love to say I’m used to it but it’s still crazy to see it in photos. . I used to get on the scale everyday in the beginning, I lived and cried by the scale. It determined if it was going to be a good day or a bad day, if I got to eat freely or restrict. I used to run a lot because that was the quickest way for me to see “results” on the scale in the morning. . Somewhere around the year and a half mark I stopped weighing myself. I had achieved my “goal” weight and quickly added back some pounds because my body isn’t supposed to be that weight if I still want to be happy and eat. Around this time is when I finally realized what the lifestyle was all about. It’s about working out hard and building muscle. It’s about eating out with friends or just living that snack life. It’s about balance and achievable goals. I decided I wanted to build muscle and there’s no way I could achieve that and still try to weigh 130lbs. . I’m so happy to ditch the scale because it’s “success” was never permanent and it’s numbers I now know, are meaningless. 💕 A post shared by Nikki Kirk (@nikkirk7) on Nov 28, 2018 at 9:08am PST Share This Link Copy ← Use Arrow Keys → 12 "I'm so happy to ditch the scale because it's "success" was never permanent and it's numbers, I now know, are meaningless."
