SE3 - Ep8: Is it time to break up with the Scales?

In this episode I explore breaking up with the Scales. I know it isn’t as easy as it sounds…Diet Culture teaches us that our worth is tied to our weight, and weekly or even daily weighing is a big part of dieting, disordered eating and in eating disorders.Letting go of the Scales is not easy work, but it is often worth it if when you are on a path of recovery and want to have peace with food, eating and your body.In this episode I’ll explore:-          What is your current relationship with the Scales? And what would you like it to be like?-          How weighing your body is part of dieting and intentional weight loss pursuits-          The harm and disconnect that continuous weighing can cause-          How we hand over our power to the Scales-          How looking for happiness in a number is based on an illusion-          A couple of reflection questions for you to exploreOther episodes that are mentioned in this one or that may be of benefit when you are exploring this topic:SE1 – Ep1: My StorySE3 - Ep3: Let’s Talk About Food RulesSE2 - Ep7: Understanding Orthorexia with Lynn McGovernSE3 - Ep4: From Self Objectification to Selfcare with Anna StricklandArticlesHow weight gain can happen despite calorie restrictionWhy am I so afraid of gaining weight?Find me over on Straightforward Nutritionhttps://straightforwardnutrition.com/My 1:1 work hereBook in for a 30 min free initial session hereSign up for my newsletter on https://linnt.substack.com/  Get full access to Joyful + Nourishment at linnt.substack.com/subscribe
