Episode 3373: Jill Coleman shares a vulnerable moment that reveals how easy it is to tie self-worth to a number on the scale, and how freeing it can be to let that go. By shifting focus from outcomes to consistent, sustainable behaviors, she shows how to reduce stress, break destructive cycles, and build a healthier relationship with food and body image. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://jillfit.com/2016/06/14/scale-self-worth/ Quotes to ponder: "It felt like a big middle finger to relying on the scale or my physique for my self-worth." "This is why for me, focusing on behaviors, and not outcomes, is key." "I don’t allow outcomes (i.e. my daily weight) to dictate how I eat and exercise (external motivation), and instead use my internal inspiration, what feels good for me, to drive my day."
