I don’t own a scale. 

I haven’t been on one since I was pregnant. 

Then I had to get on one at the doctor’s office… 

How many times have you hopped off of a scale and felt empowered? 

Have you ever felt that your weight was awesome, after weighing in? 

The scale is a topic I know can be triggering, but there is truth in the trigger.  As for today I want to invite you to consider whether or not the scale is truly a productive tool in your journey. I am dropping two reasons I believe weighing yourself is sabotaging your process. 

Number one: It kicks you back into the old mentality faster than a teenager with juicy gossip! Even when we rewrite the narrative, even when we work hard on meeting our body where it is at… until we have had years of empowered eating under our belt that number (no matter what it is) is linked to old thoughts. It makes sense seeing it would trigger old neuropathways. 

The second reason stepping on the scale inhibits your process is that there is generally a 5 to 7 pound weight fluctuation at any given time in a woman’s week and until we can accept this as fluctuation (not change)… the scale isn’t helpful.

This podcast is here to support you weekly, but it only scratches the surface.
