Two months ago, weighing exactly what I weigh today on the scales, I bought a pair of rigid motorcycle pants on sale which I barely fit into. I could just about do the button up and be ok whilst standing, but sitting down in them wasn’t an option- so I couldn’t wear them on a ride yet.
I thought I’d try them on today, despite no change on the scales I feel and look slimmer. Today, not only am I able to get them on easily- they are actually gaping at the back (when I sit down) and I’ve had to do them up on the tightest setting (a button which closes the waist by an inch on either side).
I weigh exactly the same on the scales yet I am much smaller!
Hence, the scales are lying bastards as per usual. I do wish folk would stop placing so much importance on them. How your clothes fit and how you feel are much better measures of success!
Ok that’s enough from me- I’m going on a ride in my swanky new pants
