hello hey guys welcome my name is DEMETRA
a lot of people don't know how to say it right
They say Dehmeetruh Duhmetrah, whatever
I go by Dee Deme yeah whatever you got you guys
want to hear about all this let's get to
business let's get to the nitty-gritty
today we are going to talk about weight
gain and the scale and how to cope with
it if you're watching this video I bet
you weighed yourself this morning or
during the evening time did you like the
number that you saw are you comfortable
with that number or were you expecting
to see something a bit lower
sometimes scale can get you really
excited or you know really sad
we've all been there male and female
seriously it's time to stop with all the
beating yourself up over a stupid number
and learn to finally just embrace your
body for what it is the number does not
define you
whenever I hear someone talking you're
telling me about how they want to get in
shape and they want to lose 10 pounds
and they want to lose 20 pounds in three
or four months or if I can just get down
250 pounds maybe you should reconsider
stepping on the scale
why well I think picking a number for
weight loss is maybe a decent starting
point and it's definitely good if you're
setting goals for yourself but the skill
definitely does not tell the whole story
and it can turn into a emotional roller
coaster and just really screw things up
here are a few reasons why I no longer
rely on the scale for my progress one
your weight is going to fluctuate
especially if you're female your body is
smart and it's a very very complex
machine there's stuff coming in and out
and dissolving and being broken down all
of the time as a result of that your
weight is going to fluctuate throughout
the day all day depending on what you
ate today what you drink if there is
sodium in your food everything
will be different next time you go to
the gym weigh yourself before you
workout and then weigh yourself
afterwards I guarantee you you will not
weigh the same way yourself in the
morning and then check you at night
I've weighed myself where I wake up that
lets say 228 pounds and then by the end
of the day I'm like holy shit i'm a
hundred 34 pounds
did I really just gained like guys I'm
not taking math in forever I really has
gained four pounds within 12 hours
no you didn't if you're trying to lose
weight the healthy way 122 pounds max
per week is a great point to be at 43
pounds if you're on the heavier side
usually when people start dieting the
first week the majority of the weight
loss could be a pretty large number it
could be like I don't know anywhere from
five to eight or maybe even 10 pounds
that's probably exaggerating a bit the
majority of the way from the first week
of dying
hello is water weight so don't think
that
oh my god I went on this TD talks and i
lost 10 pounds
don't quote me on this but i'm pretty
sure that the majority of those teas
have shit like diuretics and that no
shit Sherlock you're gonna lose water
weight not that honey
so if you're trying to lose weight the
healthy way 12 pounds per week is
perfect when i was doing my slow cut
just this past summer I was losing like
half a pound to a pound or a pound and a
half i was able to run to a lot of
strength because if you start losing you
know more than three pounds per week 224
pounds you're not only losing fat you're
also losing muscle and that
is like I cannot tell you how awful that
is I experienced that before and it is
the worst here's the second reason why I
don't let the scale take over my life
your weight does not tell the whole
story i have been a hundred twenty-five
pounds
skinny fat and I've also been a hundred
twenty-five pounds with a lot more
muscle on my physique same wait a few
years apart so the only thing that
changed well there's a lot should change
but what I'm focusing on right here is
my body composition just lift weights
which I know a lot of people are scared
to do but you just gotta get out of your
comfort zone you know everyone's nervous
and scared when you first start out you
know sometimes I even get nervous being
in the gym and I've been going for a few
years now i love the gym I love it and I
love being able to change my body and I
love the way it makes me feel this is
sometimes I get nervous I don't know if
I had like a big lift that day i'm dead
lifting my god shit I gotta put in work
today so I get nervous you know my god
am I gonna hit 180 am I gonna hit 200
today I don't know it's okay i'm telling
you that it is a ok to be nervous
lift heavy weights eat healthy when I
say healthy i don't need just plain
toast man were toast man was eat
Oh of the foods of colors of the rainbow
me try that again all of this
whatever you get what I'm trying to say
yeah go for long walks you lose the
weight and you'll keep the muscle win
three
I used to set out to lose like a gold
you know I used to say I want to be
under 25 pounds it's just not realistic
what if you get 225 pounds and you don't
look like what you wanted to look like
what that lets say you were a hundred
thirteen hundred forty pounds can you
say i want to get down to 125 pounds ok
what if during that time you diet your
diet you're losing weight you get down
230 pounds and you're like damn I look
good and at that point you're satisfied
with your body and you don't want to
lose any more weight
don't be so certain stone over a number
and if you don't hit that number don't
consider yourself a failure either you
know people might even notice you
started 14 you're down 130 and they're
like holy shit you look amazeballs
do you really need to lose more weight
you really need to push any further if
you feel like you look great
everyone else says you look great you're
not a statistic and you are not a number
on the other hand i'm not completely
shitting on the scale it does have its
benefits it does have its uses here and
there I a hundred percent have body
dysmorphia hundred percent so what I see
in the mirror may not actually reflect
what I currently have your vacation
recently and I didn't feel like I lost
that much weight i just felt the same
and i felt the same as i felt when i
first life for my trip and I got back
and my boyfriend hugs me and he's like
where's where's the rest of you I looked
at myself in the mirror you know I
myself every single day
and I just didn't see it I didn't see
what he was saying to a certain extent i
do think that the scale can be helpful
in that sense but it's not something to
obsess over it should be used as a tool
for whichever goal you may have whether
that may be bulking which yes women do
bulk i'm currently working my way into
bulking or cutting dying when I do feel
like using it i just use it to help me
stay on track during this book that I'm
doing right now probably weigh myself
maybe once every few weeks just to see
where i'm at also take measurements my
body that's a great way to measure
progress thighs your glutes your ways to
your chest biceps the whole the whole
shebang
so if you're someone who's trying to
veer away from the scale
here's a few things to keep in mind when
doing so this is a journey to be
healthier lifestyle it's like a marathon
you know it's not a sprint
weigh yourself once a month or every
other week just to keep yourself on
track and make sure that you're you're
going in the right direction if you are
going to be someone who weighs yourself
weekly make sure you do it at the same
time every single day so if you weigh
yourself in the morning like I do it
myself you know I use the potty I'll
just another business but don't eat or
drink beforehand i just weighed myself
on an empty stomach
butt-naked what has really helped me is
looking at pictures of myself and
comparing them side by side have a app
it's called layout and leave its partner
through Instagram but i do I take a
picture of myself maybe from a week or
two ago and then i'll do the same pose
or whatever i did and i'll post them
side-by-side and that way i have a
better judgment of my progression is I
know that when I look in the mirror I
don't see what I actually contain
underneath here set goals for yourself
that are not wait oriented I set a goal
for myself to be able to do 20 push-ups
without stopping
I've been able to progressively increase
that number that's been a goal of mine
that I've been continuously progressing
in between you and I my bench good with
your mind focused on building strength
or power you won't be as focused on a
number if you can only do say five
push-ups now and you workout it in next
month you can do 15
congratulations you definitely got
stronger writing this stuff down is
great as well I write it down in my
notes I've actually had been tracking my
weight since January 26
oh my god so a year ago have it all in
notes and i weigh 235 pounds a year ago
I died during that time so i got only
back down to 225 which is around where I
am right now I just for the whole year i
tracked my weight so are you a scale
junkie
I'm still recovering scale chunky
consistency
I know it sounds like you know cliche
like consistency is key
but it did honestly really is more on
the story scale is working for you and
you're able to have a healthy
relationship with the scale
go for it do you stick with it if the
scale is a total bitch to you and it's
something that screws with your mind
maybe it's time to check it or take a
little break
what are your guys experiences have you
had success with stepping on the scale
daily or weekly have you had rough weeks
with the scale or have you skipped the
scale completely and are still seeing
great results
thank you guys so much for watching you
guys are awesome
I really appreciate the support now i'm
gonna go hit some misc with my main girl
sea tuna
yeah and I'll check you guys later
