109. The Importance of Fixing Your Relationship with the Scale


Listen Later

Have you ever felt like the scale is basically your worst enemy when it comes to your health and fitness??


I hear often from the ladies I work with that they’re either weighing themselves daily and are super fixated on the results, or they’re never stepping foot on the scale and want to steer clear of it all together. Either way, the scale still seems to control SO much of how we feel about ourselves and our overall health. This is something I've personally struggled with in the past, because the scale used to hold so much meaning for me too. Fortunately, I’m in a place now where I don’t dread stepping on the scale. It’s simply a metric for me to celebrate my body’s capacity for strength and transformation; the number staring back at me doesn’t dictate how I feel about myself, or my worth. 


While I do believe the scale can be very helpful and it is important to understand, it’s not the ‘be-all, end-all’ when it comes to your health and fitness. It IS possible to foster a healthy relationship with the scale - one that aligns with your fitness goals and your emotional well-being. No matter where you fall when it comes to the scale, I want you to be confident in yourself. You ARE worthy, regardless of what that number says!

In this episode, the importance of fixing your relationship with the scale, we cover:

  • Deciding how often you’re going to weigh yourself + not letting it have a mental or emotional ‘hold’ over you
  • Why having a positive relationship with the scale DOES matter
  • My journey with the scale growing up + why so many of us are still negatively impacted by the scale as adults
  • My experience using the Renpho smart scale
  • Understanding that you can change your body drastically, within just a few pounds
  • 5 key things that actually help my clients in regards to the number on the scale
