Why the Scale Might Be Lying to You: Changing the Story You Tell Yourself

F*ck the scale.

Let me get personal for a second.

Right now, I’m 170 lbs, squatting more weight than I ever have in my life, eating more calories than I ever have, and feeling the most confident and powerful in my body than I ever imagined possible.

But if you had told me five years ago that I’d be comfortably sitting at 170 lbs, I probably would’ve had a panic attack. Because back then, I was 145 lbs, chasing a smaller body instead of a stronger one.

That number on the scale used to rule me. Now? It means nothing compared to how I feel in my skin, how much I can lift, and how deeply I trust the process.
