I know this from experience. Over the last 15+ years of working with folks and helping them collectively lose thousands of pounds, getting rid of your scale is by far one of the most impactful things you could do to produce LASTING results.
Why?
If you do not have a scale at the ready, you must focus on actions, not results! If you are only looking at the number on the scale, we can have pretty selective memory when it comes to just how much sugar we had yesterday. Or how little exercise we had. Or that we didn’t eat a single vegetable and only had one glass of water.
Weight loss and great health begin in the mind! When you focus on your actions and making the healthiest choices possible, it becomes much easier to shed the extra pounds and have the added bonus of being happier while we are doing it!
The number on the scale is the LAST thing that changes when you are losing weight in a healthy and maintainable way. Create an environment that you get to feel the difference from the better choices you are making – more energy, better mental clarity, less joint pain, baggier clothes, less cravings, etc.
All of these positive changes can be experienced in as little as 2 weeks, if you are focused on actions and fueling your body, not just the number on the scale.
