77: I stepped on the scales and hated what I saw...


Listen Later

Diet culture tells you that scales are a must. But there's actually no requirement for you to step on the scale. Not at all.

In reality, the act of weighing yourself might be stopping you from finding your healthiest weight.

Have you ever experienced how encountering an undesired number on the scale can send you spiraling, sapping your motivation?

Jenna was 8 years old when she was sent to her first dietitian to be put on a 'healthy eating' meal plan, aka a diet. She spent the next 20 years dieting and is now thankfully coming out the other side. Phew!

But are you ready for a reality check when recovering from dieting? Sometimes you do things that you know will help you, and sometimes there are things that you know will make you feel crap... and you do them anyway.

Last week, Jenna stepped on the scale—knowing she might not like what she saw. But she did it anyway.

Surprisingly, even though she hated the number and definitely shed some tears, something good came out of it.

We are so excited for you to listen to this story. A lightbulb moment in a life without dieting.

Let's redefine our relationship with diet culture, discover balance and joy in the process.

So, if you're ready to break up with diets, join us on this journey because change can really be as simple as a morning stroll, an extra glass of water, or a good night's sleep.
