episode 283: how to care less about the scale
If stepping on the scale can make or break your entire day (or if you avoid it entirely because you’re afraid of what it will say), this episode is for you.
Today I'm breaking down what the scale is actually measuring, why your weight naturally fluctuates, and how a lifetime of diet culture has taught us to treat one number like the ultimate measure of success or failure.
More importantly, I'm giving you specific, practical ways to respond differently so the scale stops controlling what you eat, what you wear and how you feel.
If you've ever felt amazing one morning because the number went down—or like a complete failure because it went up overnight—this conversation will change the way you think about the scale forever.
