Summary

In today’s episode of the "Fasting for Life" podcast, we discuss the psychological challenges weight loss seekers face when relying solely on the scale for progress tracking. We emphasize the importance of focusing on non-scale victories, setting behavior-based goals, and maintaining a health-centric mindset rather than an appearance-focused one. Additionally, we encourage mindful eating, consistent journaling to track progress, seeking social support, and celebrating small milestones to maintain motivation. Ultimately, the goal is to adopt sustainable habits and self-compassion to successfully navigate the weight loss journey. FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!
