I read this article the other night, and it rings true for me as someone who has lost a lot of weight.
There is the constant struggle in my own mind that I am reverting back because of some weight I have put on this year. I have made good progress this year, it just hasn't been on a scale.
The quick reminder to myself is that my health goal far exceeds a weight goal. I am stronger, move better, and FEEL better than any other time in my life--including when I was my lightest bodyweight ever.
To pursue looking like a fitness competitor and to pursue health through weight loss are not the same thing. You cannot serve two masters.
Love yourself as you pursue health. What your body looks like during that journey is irrelevant. Work hard, play hard, and recover well.
In Strength,

I'm right there with you Nathan! I feel better than ever, and I'm certainly not thin. The numbers on the board don't lie, there has been a lot of progress! -Pamela
