Weighing Yourself: Impossible to I'm Possible!

Chaunell Walker • May 3, 2019

Scale: How do you like that heavy-handed triple scoop of ice cream now!?

You: Ohhh, you sneaky little, judgmental scale! You've been just lurking and waiting for me to mess up, so you can ruin my hopes and dreams!

 

Sound familiar? While seeing the number on the scale may feel like torture, your scale is not lying. Don't shoot the messenger! It will never say, 'Impossible To Lose Weight'. You have been telling yourself that. It's up to us to take the truth, be thankful for the feedback, and use it to propel us to do better. 

In weight loss, the number on the scale will go down when you raise your mindset and change your behaviors. Delete the list in your head of impossibilities. Begin saying, "I'm Possible!" Believe in yourself!

Want to know how to avoid scale rejection on your weight loss journey? 
Here are 8 ways to become friends with your scale (or, at least be cordial):

  • Be patient – fast food doesn't come off the body as quickly as it went in. Don't worry, stay consistent and you'll reach your goal!

  • Make a plan – your plan should include S.M.A.R.T. Goals (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-sensitive), as well as rewards and celebrations for achievements.

  • Create a course of action – prioritize by focusing on what really matters, stay accountable, change your mindset, don't forget this is a lifestyle change, so do things you enjoy, like maybe dance aerobics instead of running on the treadmill.

  • Affirm – make sure your self-talk (what you say to yourself) is positive and encouraging. Change impossible to I'm Possible!

  • Journal – keep track of every win big or small. Take note of the not so great stuff too, so you know what to improve on. This includes what the scale so honestly informs you of.

  • Express yourself – create a weight loss motivation vision board that displays what you want to achieve. Pinterest is great for that. Check out our evolving Pinterest board for ideas.

  • Be honest with yourself – perhaps you were being petty and the scale isn't a hater after all. Perhaps.

  • Mindfulness – pay attention to how much sleep you get, how much water you drink, your sugar in-take, and the portions you eat.

If these 8 things are too much for you to handle by yourself, consider hiring a professional. I am available to teach you how to have a healthy relationship with food, and to help you and that scale become besties!

Live Love & Prosper,
Coach Nell
