Don't Let Weight Weigh You Down: A Holistic Approach to Fitness and Wellness
The Truth About Weight and Why It Shouldn't Hold You Back
How many times have you told yourself, “I’ll start exercising after I lose weight”? Sis, I hear it all the time. But let me tell you this—waiting for the “perfect” moment to start your fitness journey is just another way of delaying your progress. Time won’t wait, and neither should you. The longer you wait, the more weight—both physical and emotional—you carry.
Here’s the truth: Time doesn’t wait for us, and the longer we put off taking action, the harder it becomes. But here’s the good news—weight isn’t the enemy. It’s just a piece of the puzzle, not the full picture of your health and fitness.
At Curvy Fit Chicks, we don’t obsess over weight. Instead, we take a holistic approach to wellness that allows you to embrace strength, movement, and self-love without being chained to the scale. Let’s break down the different types of weight that could be holding you back and how to release them.
1. Weight (Pounds)- Understanding the Scale Without Obsession
Yes, weight is measured in pounds, and we’re not here to ignore the scale. But we refuse to let it define us.
As a curvy, plus-size woman who consistently works out, I know that my number on the scale will be higher—and that’s okay. Muscle is denser than fat, and as you gain strength, your weight may not drop as fast as you expect. But here’s the kicker:
📉 Your clothes will fit better.
💪 Your body will feel stronger.
✨ Your energy levels will soar.
So, instead of obsessing over a number, focus on how you feel and how well your body moves. A fit, curvy body is powerful, and the more you move, the more you activate those curves.
More Tips to Shift Your Mindset About the Scale:
✅ Don’t let the number dictate your worth or progress.
✅ Focus on building a strong musculoskeletal system so your weight supports you, not hinders you.
✅ Celebrate non-scale victories—increased stamina, better mobility, and feeling confident in your own skin.

2. Weight (People)- Letting Go of Toxic Relationships
Now let’s talk about the weight that’s even heavier than body weight—the wrong people in your life.
Sis, deadweight isn’t just on your body—it’s in your circle too. And the truth is, the wrong people can hold you back more than extra pounds ever could.
Signs You’re Carrying People-Weight:
❌ You feel drained and emotionally exhausted after being around certain people.
❌ You’re questioning yourself because of their opinions.
❌ You hesitate to make decisions out of fear of their judgment.
❌ You feel manipulated, guilt-tripped, or controlled.
Here’s what you need to do: Remove, extract, and extinguish toxic people from your life. It’s not just about protecting your peace—it’s about survival. Your growth, success, and happiness depend on surrounding yourself with people who uplift, support, and empower you. It’s time to drop the weight.
Choose YOU. Choose the people who want to see you win. Because the wrong people will bury you under their negativity if you let them and you don’t have time for that. You are focusing on being in community with people who are excited to see you stepping into your strongest, most confident self. This is why Curvy Fit Chicks Community is the place to be.
3. Weight (Problems)- Releasing the Burdens Holding You Back
Life comes with struggles—we can’t avoid that. But holding onto unnecessary stress, guilt, and self-doubt is just another form of weight that drags us down. But just like in fitness, you can’t lift heavy weights without building strength first.
How to Lighten Your Mental & Emotional Load:
🌿 Instead of focusing on problems, focus on solutions.
🧘🏾♀️ Instead of letting stress consume you, practice gratitude and self-care.
🔥 Instead of waiting for motivation, create the discipline to keep moving forward.
Every challenge you face is an opportunity to build resilience. So, the next time you feel overwhelmed, take a deep breath and ask yourself, “How can I grow from this?” Then, grab your Gratitude Journal, write down three things you’re grateful for, and release the weight of negativity.
The Bottom Line: Drop the Weight That Holds You Back
You are stronger than the numbers on the scale. You are worth more than the negativity around you. And you deserve to live a life where you feel confident, capable, and fully in control of your well-being. The moment you decide to release what no longer serves you, you make room for strength, joy, and wellness.
