Episode #152: How to Drop Scale Drama

Summary 

For years, the scale had a powerful hold over me. Some days, I weighed myself obsessively, letting one “bad” number ruin my mood. Other times, I avoided the scale altogether, afraid to confirm what I already suspected. If you’ve ever felt triggered by the scale—or any kind of data—you’re not alone. But here’s the truth: it’s not the number itself that causes dread. It’s the meaning we attach to it.

I’m walking you through how to break free from the doom-and-gloom cloud that follows so many high-achievers when it comes to weight loss. You’ll learn how to use data to work for you—not against you—so you can make informed, powerful decisions about your health. Whether or not you ever step on a scale again is completely up to you, but if you do, this episode will show you how to approach it from a place of curiosity, not criticism.
