191. Redefining Success Beyond the Scale


Listen Later

If the scale hasn’t budged and you’re wondering “What’s the point?” — this episode is for you.

Too often, we tie our worth and our success to a single number. But Kara is here to help you break free from scale obsession and finally see the progress you’ve actually been making.

Through client stories, her own insights, and a powerful redefinition of success, Kara will show you how to recognize non-scale victories, track your true progress, and feel confident now — not 10 pounds from now.

Because success isn’t measured in pounds. It’s measured in persistence, awareness, and self-trust.

🔑 Key Takeaways
  • The Problem with Scale-Only Thinking
    The number is not the whole story — and it might even be distracting you from real progress.
  • What Success Really Looks Like
    Kara redefines success as: “Not giving up while you’re still learning and trying.”
  • Examples of Real Non-Scale Wins
    • Leaving two bites behind
    • Tracking habits consistently
    • Speaking to yourself with more compassion
    • Showing up after a hard day
    • Feeling calmer in relationships (yes, even that’s connected!)
    • What to Track Instead of the Scale:
      • Measurements & monthly photos
      • Daily habit consistency
      • Journal reflections: awareness, efforts, lessons, and attempts
      • Emotional shifts & behavioral wins
      • Powerful Journal Prompt from Kara:
        “Where have I made progress that has nothing to do with the scale?”
        “What would success look like if it wasn’t about a number?”
