Tomorrow 2/4/15 I am going to have this test redone. The DXA scan is one of the most accurate ways of measuring body fat outside of the test done in water. The first time I had this done, I was shocked with my body fat percentage. I knew I was overweight..obese even, but I had no idea. One reason was because all the "caliper" tests and the "tests based on biometrics and hydration status" were all about 10-14% less than what this test showed. My visceral fat load was 1.6lbs. (fat around my internal organs).
Tomorrow...I am expecting it to be better....then WHY the hell am I so nervous about it? I have no idea what a good body fat percentage loss is...I guess i'm afraid that it won't be "enough"...I already know that my BMI still has me in the overweigh category even though i'm in a size 6-8. I'm stronger, for sure...but how much stronger. My stomach fat/skin bothers me a lot...more than it probably should. AND..i want to be at my original goal weight..which is 128lb. I think I need to go back and start over....i feel like i eat too much....ugh..this is so scary...how am i going to maintain with the next Tri season looming ahead.
I think I don't want to be disappointed that my hard work, or what I believe to be hard work, has not paid off in big dividends.
Truth...I'm still living in a fat girl's brain. I cannot seem to help it...
