Episode 7 - The Scale Obsession: Why It’s Lying to You & What to Focus on Instead


Listen Later

It’s 6am, you step on the scale full of hope… and feel nothing but disappointment. Sound familiar? 😩

In this episode, we’re breaking down why the number on the scale can be misleading and how it might be keeping you stuck—emotionally and physically. We’ll dive into why scale fluctuations happen (hello, hormones, stress, sleep, and water retention), why eating enough to fuel muscle growth can actually make the scale go up, and why obsessing over a number can distract you from what really matters.

I’ll share how to use the scale strategically—if at all—depending on your goals, and why wins like strength gains, mirror confidence, and crushing workouts are far more meaningful indicators of progress. You’ll also hear the hard truth: lasting change comes from consistency and habit-building, not a two-week “perfect” streak.

If you’re frustrated by the scale, feeling stuck, or questioning your progress, this episode is a must-listen. I’ll walk you through what the number actually means (or doesn’t), when it’s time to get help, and how to celebrate the victories that truly matter—beyond the scale.

Stop letting a number define your worth. Start focusing on wins that make a real difference in how you feel, perform, and show up for yourself.
