Muscle vs. Fat


Just a quick post to show the difference between fat and muscle when it comes to our mass. It helps me understand size, and realize that the scale and the BMI are helpful but not the entire picture. It also makes a person like me want to work out more!!!

Eww, that fat is so gross. I had no idea there was so much "mass" difference between the two. I knew muscle was smaller, compared to a pound of fat, but didn't know how much smaller. Wow.

And yes, like you I have a few size 6s among my 8s (which is so surprising to me, still), and truth be told, if I could get off 5 pounds the 6s would look a lot better. But, I'll be darned if I'm gonna buy 8s when they are a smidge too big when I intend on losing a bit more. That's the way the JJill slacks are. The 8s probably would look better right now, but they were a bit baggy in front and when I lose 5 pounds, they would be too big. So, I bought the 6's and I wear Assets under them and they look fine.

I'm also guilty of only shopping where the sizes are flattering to me. I've tried on clothes at Target before. They don't vanity size. I don't shop there. Pathetic, I know. Oh well.
