Nurse “increases her butt” with exercise and diet –

In July last year, nurse Claire Maxwell, 28, collapsed at work and broke her jaw when she fell to the ground. Over the next few weeks, she lost six kilos because of the forced liquid diet, as she couldn’t chew anything. At 1.80 m, Claire was weighing in at 51 kilos and believing that “thinner is always better”, she was happy with what she saw on the scale, despite knowing that she was perfectly healthy before the accident. “I knew that I should put on weight again, but I had no reason to do it quickly”, she admitted in one of her posts on Instagram, in the caption of a photo.

“I thought I looked great, but when I saw this picture, I thought, ‘I don’t have a butt anymore!’

I’m not someone who places a lot of emphasis on my actual weight–I think progress photos and how you feel are a much better judgment if what you’re doing is working for you. The only time I use the scale is when I’m recalculating my macros. However ☝🏼 I know it can be difficult to not get hung up on a number, so I wanted to share this comparison with you guys! . Most of you probably know that last summer I fainted and fractured my jaw in 3 places. As a result, I ended up having my jaw wired shut for about 6 weeks. Between the initial fall and my surgery, my caloric intake was very low; the first 5 days lost just over 10 lbs. I remember at the time I knew I needed to gain back the weight, but I also didn’t realize how weak and thin (not in a good way!) I was until looking back at these photos. . The mind is a tricky thing. I think that sometimes it’s easy to get caught up on a number and make a quick judgment based on that. Sure, there are times for weight loss, I get that. But I hope that anyone who is having a difficult time with the scale can look at these two photos and see that gaining weight is not necessarily a bad thing, and that the scale should not be your main or only indicator of progress. I look at the photo on the right, and while I’m 12 lbs. heavier now I think I look 10x better. Not only that but I am at a healthy weight, I am strong, my muscles are more defined, and I feel a lot better! 〰Anyway, just something to think about 💭So, on that note, you know what they say…#gainingweightiscool 🙌🏼👊🏼 Tag someone who needs to hear this❣️

Still following a liquid-only diet, Claire gained just over a kilo. Six weeks after the accident, Claire began an aggressive fattening diet. The carb diet was 1,000 more calories a day than Claire used to eat. Within a month, she had already gained five kilos and was on her way to her old weight of 59 kilos. But as she had injured her wrist, Claire couldn’t go back to full exercise. So her weight came back, but in the form of fat.

// 2 years difference // Happy Monday guys!! I wanted to post this as a friendly reminder that change TAKES TIME. Even if you don’t see the changes happening, I promise you, they are!! I remember I would take progress photos every week and be like, I don’t see any changes?! 🤔😤 I would get so frustrated because I would see all these other amazing transformations in what seemed like such a short period of time. Remember that we are all different and our bodies all respond to differently. But ☝🏼the one thing I can say that goes for everyone is consistency! Be consistent, work hard and the results will come. Small changes are happening everyday and those will add up to get you to where you want to be 👊🏼 . Lastly, find what works for you and makes YOU happy. This progress is a result of BBG, weights, and @paosfitworld’s SSBM (link in bio). It doesn’t matter what you do to get there–just work on being a better, healthier, and happier you 🤗❤️

“That was a strange feeling: seeing my body at my normal weight but with a different composition messed with my head a bit,” he wrote. Two months later, Claire returned to exercise and cut back on excess calories. The proportion of fat and lean mass changed, but the weight remained the same: 59 kilos.

As the result began to show in the mirror, Claire decided she wanted more muscle, especially her butt. So she increased her carbohydrate intake again and started working her buttocks more, with 4 1/2 hours of specific exercises every week. She did bridges, leg presses, different versions of squats and lunges, band exercises, weight lifting, and three 45-minute StairMaster classes a week.

I know I’ve shared this before but I’m sharing it again because it seemed to resonate with a good amount of people. . On the left was a couple weeks after I had broken my jaw, and had lost over 10 lbs. initially. On the right is a week or so ago. Now, I have never been someone to fix on my actual weight, I didn’t even own a scale until last year. But, for whatever reason, seeing that lower number on the scale messed with my head a little bit. I knew I needed to gain back the weight, but I think there is this automatic association that weighing less is somehow better. Obviously this is not true but I think that has been engrained in us by society. And to be honest, I knew I needed to gain back the weight but I didn’t see the hurry. I didn’t think I looked unhealthy. I thought I looked fine…lean even. It wasn’t until I saw this photo on the left that I remember thinking, “oh, shit…definitely do not have a butt anymore” 😂 Which yes, is funny to an extent…but ☝🏼 it’s also a little scary how something can be so engrained in us (a lower number on the scale) and us embody that without even knowing it. . Even for someone who doesn’t use a scale (I just weigh myself for macro adjustments), I do understand how the number on the scale can have a big impact on someone. So I just really encourage you guys to adjust your goals based on what you see in the mirror and how you are feeling about your body (if that makes sense). Yes, the number on the scale CAN be an indicator of progress, but it is NOT the only indicator. I look at these photos and on the right is someone who is healthy, happy, confident, and those are the things I strive for. Those are what will make your progress meaningful, not the number on the damn scale 👊🏼 #screwthescale #gainingweightiscool

Seven months later, Claire has managed to transform her butt, just in time for her upcoming wedding. “A lower number on the scale is not necessarily an indicator of greater health, confidence, or beauty,” she wrote.
