Listen! I'm not going to tell you what to do, but I am going to advise you that it might be time to smash that scale. The scale does nothing, but make us unhappy. Even when you are feeling good about yourself and your clothes are fitting great. Maybe, you feel stronger and happier and then you step on the scale and it can make you feel like a failure. Why do that to yourself?
For most circumstances, you don't need to know how much you weigh. The diet industry makes us think that weight is the most important about health and it is NOT!
So, I am going to challenge you to smash the scale, or at least put it away! You are so much more than a number!
Send me an email and let me know you are going to accept this challenge. I double dog dare you to.
5 reason to Ditch the Scale
It can trigger low self-esteem. Why set your day off wrong? We let the scale tell us our worth. You are worth more than that number.
It's not accurate. Our weight can fluctuate up to 10 pounds in a single day depending on different factors. This does not represent how much weight loss you have.
Scale does not determine your health. Just because you gain weight, does not mean you are unhealthy and weight loss does not mean you are healthy. Your weight is not a good factor of health .
The scale doesn't show your real results. It is not a great indicator of anything. When you focus on the scale, you miss out on other results, like better sleep, more energy, less pain and more self-confidence.
It keeps you in the diet mindset. When you are focusing on losing weight, you are not focusing on all factors of health. You focus on restriction.
If you can't commit to ditching the scale completely, try putting it away for a month. Trust your body, it will know what to do!
Don't forget to email me back that you are going to take this challenge!!!
Have a good week!
Let's have some fun!
