Do you pay attention to your BMI?

My body mass index indicates I am extremely obese >35. I rejoined the gym right after Christmas and have been exercising regularly. Admittedly, I need to make some changes in my diet, but at least I'm feeling, moving, and sleeping better. I bought a body composition scale which arrived yesterday, and it provided some alarming numbers so now I'm terrified.

How much attention do you pay to your body composition figures?

Be careful not to get too hung up by the numbers. The important thing is feeling better. Let yourself feel good about that. You obviously see opportunity for improvement in your diet. You already see the benefits of regular exercise. Just keep going, keep taking those steps and enjoying the rewards. To me, keeping eyes glued to a scale sucks the joy out of it. 🤷‍♀️

@JustNik Agreed. It also builds unnecessary anxiety, the weight loss journey is tough as it is already
