episode 140: can the scale improve your body confidence?
Episode 140 of The Diet Diaries is all about the scale and why it plays such a massive a role in our body confidence and body image insecurities.
We’ve learned to rely on the scale for all measures of progress around health, wellness, body confidence and even self esteem. We let the scale dictate our mood, influence what we eat and how we exercise and until it feels like a chokehold on our entire life.

What does the scale actually measure?
How to use the scale in a way that’s helpful instead of harmful
What to expect when you are using the scale to measure progress
What impacts scale weight
How to assign less meaning and separate your emotions from the number you see

As always I share my personal experience with the scale, what finally helped me find peace with it and how I find my own body confidence.
