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.In This EpisodeWhy the scale is just a piece of data—not a verdictWhat the scale is actually measuring (and what it isn't)Why weighing yourself once a week vs every day require completely different ways of interpreting the dataThe real problem isn't the scale—it's how you respond to itWhy you need progress markers that have nothing to do with your weightConnect with JordanaFind me on InstagramSign up for my weekly letter with personal stories and nutrition, body image and mindset tipsSchedule a free discovery call to talk more about working together Listen to more episodes of The Diet Diaries
