Weight Loss For Women: empowering health, strength and nourishment #371 - The Metric Most Women Obsess Over That’s Sabotaging Their Results (And what this taught us about fear, control, and real change) with Craig McDonald
There is one number that has controlled women for decades.
And it is not just sabotaging their body composition.
It is sabotaging their peace.
In this episode Craig and I started talking about scale weight.
But what unfolded was something much deeper than numbers, fat loss, or progress photos.
Yes, we unpack why obsessing over body weight alone keeps women stuck.
Why you can lose fat, gain muscle, get stronger, look better, and still feel like you have failed.
Why the scale obsession often punishes the very progress you are trying to create.
But underneath all of that
Fear of not being enough.
Fear of losing control.
Fear of slowing down.
Fear of trusting the process instead of forcing outcomes.
We talk openly about clients who did everything “right”.
Lost body fat.
Gained lean mass.
Dropped inches.
Improved sleep, energy, strength, confidence.
And still felt disappointed because she didn't reach her 'goal' weight.
How many times has that been you?
I share how fear has driven me too.
How overworking, controlling, pushing, and never slowing down was not ambition.
It was fear dressed up as productivity.
Fear of not being enough without doing more.
Fear of letting go.
Fear of trusting alignment over force.
Craig opens up about his own patterns.
Anger. Reactivity. Control.
And how learning to pause instead of explode has been one of the hardest lessons of his life.
Because this work
Whether it is body composition, relationships, health, or business
Always asks the same question.
Do your actions actually align with what you say you value?
Most women say they value their health and body.
But their behaviours are still rooted in fear, urgency, and self punishment.
And that misalignment creates frustration, burnout, and the feeling that nothing ever works.
This episode is not just about training or nutrition.
It is about choosing devotion over discipline.
Alignment over force.
And long term change over short term control.
If you have ever felt stuck despite “doing everything right”
Or tired of chasing numbers that never deliver peace
This episode will land.
