its my time.

The weight on the scale will go up, you’ll probably even feel like you got “bigger”, but this is a short lived little freakout which you’ll endure. I gained about 10 pounds when I started lifting, and I probably had 5 panic attacks a week, but I stuck with it. After a couple of months, your body gets used to lifting and shit. You’ll put on some muscle mass which means your body will start burning more calories at rest, and unless you’ve increased your calories by triple, those calories will come from fat, and since you’re burning fat, you’ll look leaner, but you’ll probably still weigh more than when you started. This is why weighing yourself is pointless and not a good idea in my books because our brains are wired (at least mine is), to believe that a smaller number on the scale represents a more beautiful physique, but it doesn;t. Weight literally means nothing. Your body could look extremely different at 150 pounds depending on the composition. My highest weight was 185 pounds, and I had cellulite on my stomach and was a size 14. In november I hit 177 pounds but I had abs and was a size 6. It’s all about your bodyfat percentage, not the scale!
