The Scale Is Data-Until It Becomes Identity #81

For years, I used the scale as a practical tool to move between fat loss and maintenance without obsessively tracking food. It gave me feedback, not panic. But during my ultra marathon season, when my weight shifted slightly in line with my life and training, I realised something deeper, the scale only stays neutral until it starts brushing up against identity.In this episode, I talk honestly about gaining weight in a performance season, struggling with the visual standards of the fitness industry, and learning to separate data from self-worth. I share why I’ve stopped weighing recently, why that isn’t avoidance, and how I’ve shifted from using the scale as confirmation to using behaviour as my anchor.This episode isn’t anti-scale. It’s about maturity. It’s about understanding seasons. And it’s about building a relationship with your body that isn’t shaken by a number. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
