The Importance of Non-Scale Victories
Once you start your weight loss journey, it is crucial to track your progress constantly. Otherwise, you might have a feeling of stagnation, which leads to demotivation. One way of tracking your progress is by using non-scale victories: things that indicate your significant advancement in weight loss that don't directly relate to numbers on your scale.
A Reddit User's Journey
One Reddit user under the name of "trollivier" posted his weight loss journey of 85 pounds on Reddit, using before and after clothes comparison to track his progress. He compared his old clothes to the new ones, which showed him how much he has progressed in his weight loss efforts.
How this Helped Him
Seeing a physical representation of his accomplishments gave trollivier the motivation to keep going. Also, he could shop in stores he couldn't previously due to the lack of clothing options available in larger sizes. This provided a sense of pride and motivation that helped him keep pushing forward.
Clothes Comparison as Motivation
Comparing old clothes with new ones is an excellent way to track your weight loss progress. It gives you motivation and shows you how far you have come since you started your journey. Doing this might remind you why you started in the first place, and spark the motivation to continue to work towards your goal.
Find What Works For You
Weight loss journeys are personal, and what works for someone else may not work for you. It's essential to find your own unique way of tracking your progress and motivation. Whether it be using photos, clothes comparison, scale readings, or measuring yourself, find what works best for you to feel your progress and stay motivated.
