301. How to Lose the Last 10 Pounds


Listen Later

Have you ever looked in the mirror or pulled on a pair of jeans and felt good about your progress, only to have all that confidence evaporate when you step on the scale?

At what point do you become satisfied with how you feel instead of chasing a specific number on the scale?

Listener Kristi finds herself in this very spot: “I’ve been trying for some time now to get off 10-15 pounds, and it seems like, it’s just not happening. My body just does not want to release that weight. I have to admit that I would feel better if I weighed a certain amount, but I’m not necessarily overweight or unhealthy, I would just feel better looking at a different number on the scale. So at what point do you just say, okay, this is my new weight?”

Thanks for your honesty, Kristi - you’re not alone!

In this shortie episode, I’ll tackle:

  • The mindset fork in the road where Kristi, and lots of women, find themselves as they make progress.
  • “Vanity pounds” and what it REALLY takes to shed them.
  • A better way to measure where you are and where you want to be
  • 💥Taking listener questions!!! Do you have a question about your self-care that you need help with? Just head to www.vigeofit.com/ask to submit your question, and I’ll answer it for you on an upcoming Friday episode.
