Ep 51: When The Scales Aren't Helping

My thoughts on the scales have changed. If the goal is to feel great in your body, feel good about how you eat and drink, and feel peace and freedom with food and alcohol, we must assess whether the scales are helping us to achieve those things. And I've seen time and again how the scales get in the way. This doesn't mean you aren't measuring your success and drive for change, simply adjusting the means with which you do it.  This episode is about considering if weighing yourself is going to help or hinder you in getting you to where you want to go with your body and how you feel in yourself.I explore how focus on the number can lead to you be more inconsistent with how you eat and drink, and why it might be helpful to let them go in order to be consistent and ultimately create what you want. This isn't about letting go of goals, this is about actually achieving them!As you become more consistent and stop using external measures to judge yourself or force you into taking action, you will feel better. You will build habits that become automatic and natural, are authentic to you and align with the way you want to be living your life.  Weight loss will be a by-product and you won't need to weigh yourself to create it! This will create so much trust and love with yourself and for your body. And this love and trust -- not what the number says -- will be what sustains you in your habits for years to come i.e. you won't put the weight back on again.  Let me show you the way. www.sallywebstercoaching.com
