Stepping on the scale should feel like checking your bank account. It is information, not identity. In this episode of Sell Anything, JL Van Zyverden talks about why metrics matter in body transformation, and why avoiding or relying on the scale keeps you stuck in emotion, shame, and inconsistent results. JL draws from his experience coaching clients, his background in fitness, and the predictable laws that govern fat loss and performance to show you how to track trends instead of moments and separate observation from self worth. He also explains the other metrics that matter, including the mirror, progress photos, how your clothes fit, and your nutrition inputs like protein and calorie targets. The scale is not a cop that puts you in self worth jail. It is an accountant that helps you make better decisions and build a disciplined identity.
