Summary
Unlocking Lasting Peace with Your Body
Success should be judged beyond the scale and dress size. This episode emphasizes the importance of redefining how we measure success with our bodies. Host and Master Self-Image Coach Tonya Leigh highlights that relying solely on the scale or dress size as indicators of success can be detrimental to our overall well-being. Instead, she encourages listeners to shift their focus towards how they feel emotionally and physically.
Tonya shares her personal journey of struggling with weight and body image issues, where she found herself trapped in a cycle of using external measurements to determine her worth. She explains that tying success to a number on the scale can lead to feelings of discouragement, fear, and obsession. By shifting the focus to how we feel each day and how our bodies feel, we can create a more sustainable and fulfilling approach to body success.
Join Tonya as she delves into finding beauty and joy in life, beyond the numbers on a scale.

Quotes:
"If you even look at the definition of the word slim, it's to rid of the excess, to slim down."
"We have a limited amount of energy and how much of yours is going into obsessing, hating, resisting, trying so hard to lose weight?"
"I have this belief that we're successful even when we fail, if we use those failures to grow us."
"You'll never feel better when you've set up your world and your paradigm that you can only feel good if you look a certain way."
"Wait, W-A-I-T, leads to wait, W-E-I-G-H-T. It's time to stop waiting to feel better."
"You're not here to be perfect. You're here to enjoy your life, to enjoy your body, to learn and to grow."
