359: Overcoming the Scale Obsession: How to Track Progress without Losing Your Mind

Send us a text“Why does the number on the scale have so much power over us?” In this episode, I explore a challenge many of us face—the scale and the emotional rollercoaster it creates in our fitness journey.

You’ll learn why obsessing over the scale can be more damaging than we often realize, and why simply throwing it away isn’t always the answer. Instead, I’ll share how to detach from the scale emotionally and find more empowering ways to track your progress.
