How do y’all mentally deal with building muscle and not shredding fat? Like in my head I know I’m getting healthy and fit but I’m just getting bigger and not lean. I feel like as girls we’re taught to want to be as small as possible

You have to remember ur a bad bitch, and also think of the fact that muscle weighs more than fat. You’re technically bulking under the fat, and later it will come off :) fat is not always bad tho! just know women are supposed to retain fat for good hormone balance! so anything that isn’t coming off now, doesn’t make you fat, you’re healthy at the body weight you’re at you just can’t see your body composition with your own eyes 🤍🤍🤍🤍

remind yourself of all the benefits of muscle (stronger, more physically capable, better at most sports, good for short and long term health and quality of life) and working on detaching your self-esteem from being attractive and gender conforming
