A different perspective on gains

Whenever I'm feeling sad over my lack of progress, it helps to remember to think of fat in terms of volume.

"I only gained two pounds this week" becomes

"I grew a full litre/quart this week"

And "I'm only up ten pounds this month" becomes

"I added over a gallon of fat this month"

Tragically I don't believe I've been growing even that well lately, but the shift in perspective might be helpful for reimagining your progress and goals in a more positive light. I hope all of y'all can see how successful you've been and realize just how much you're trying to accomplish!
