這位女士看似體重減輕,實則增重25磅
If you've been eating right and working out regularly, you'd expect to drop pounds, not gain them. But that's exactly what happened to one social media user-and her story is a good example of why you should never link your self-esteem to what the scale says.
如果你一直飲食健康，定期鍛鍊，那預期情況是：體重減輕，而非增加。但一位社交媒體用戶卻出現了相反狀況--而她的故事是個很好的例子：爲什麼你不該將你的自尊和體重秤上的數字相聯繫。
In an Instagram post shared on Tuesday, user @ provided a side-by-side photo showing what she looked like before starting fitness influencer Anna Victoria's Fit Body Guide method, and then how she looked after following the plan.
@用戶於週二分享的Ins狀態中，發佈了一張並排照片，對比自己採用健身達人安娜·維多利亞的健身指導方法之前和之後的樣子。
"I've been seeing a lot of posts talking about how you guys are down and out about what the scale says," she wrote. "So after some digging I found the photo on the left, that's me at the very beginning of my fitness journey a little over 2 years ago. I was super depressed and coping by eating my emotions."
"我看到很多帖子都說自己變瘦、變輕了，"她寫道。"所以一段時間鍛鍊之後，我發現左邊的照片（2年多前我剛開始健身時拍的），我當時很沮喪，只能通過吃緩解情緒。"
At the start of the program, @ said she weighed 150 pounds-but now weighs in at 175 pounds. The weight gain isn't a bad thing, she continued.
健身一開始的時候，用戶@說她體重150磅--但現在卻變成175磅了。她繼續道，體重增加並不是一件壞事。
"Fast forward to 2 years of @annavictoria programs and I'm 25 pounds heavier and fitter," she wrote. "The purpose of this post is to show you what the scale says does not matter, take your measurements, take progress photos and stay consistent. Is my body perfect, absolutely not (I love me some chips and salsa and Starbucks) but I love it and in the end that's what matters."
"實施2年的@annavictoria鍛鍊計劃後，我現在增重25磅、也更健康了，"她寫道。"此次發帖的目的就是想告訴你們，體重秤上的數字並不重要，測量尺寸、拍一些健身過程中的照片、保持下去。我的身材完美嗎？肯定不（我喜歡薯片、洋蔥辣調味汁和星巴克），但我愛我的身體，到最後這纔是最重要的。"
Program creator Victoria was thrilled to see the before and after, and she reposted it on her page with the caption, "READ THIS THEN THROW YOUR SCALE AWAY?? @ went from a size 14 to a size 6, but the scale didn't reflect that in the way you'd ? Because the scale is a LIAR."
該健身計劃創作者維多利亞看到前後對比照之後很興奮，她在自己的主頁中轉了這篇帖子，標題寫道，"讀完這個，扔掉你的體重秤吧！！@的尺寸從14變成了6，但體重秤卻無法反映這一點……爲什麼？因爲體重秤就是個說謊精。"
Victoria, who has already said that she doesn't weigh herself, is certainly onto something. The number on the scale is helpful, but it doesn't tell the whole story. For starters, it doesn't reflect your body fat percentage, which is more indicative of your overall health.
維多利亞已經說過她自己不會稱體重，肯定是有自己的打算的。稱上的數字的確有幫助，但它並不能說明整體情況。對於初始者而言，它不能反映你的體脂比例，而這纔是更能反映整體健康狀況的指標。
