SE3 - Ep8: Is it time to break up with the Scales?
Description
In this episode I explore breaking up with the Scales. I know it isn’t as easy as it sounds…
Diet Culture teaches us that our worth is tied to our weight, and weekly or even daily weighing is a big part of dieting, disordered eating and in eating disorders.
Letting go of the Scales is not easy work, but it is often worth it if when you are on a path of recovery and want to have peace with food, eating and your body.
In this episode I’ll explore:
- What is your current relationship with the Scales? And what would you like it to be like?
- How weighing your body is part of dieting and intentional weight loss pursuits
- The harm and disconnect that continuous weighing can cause
- How we hand over our power to the Scales
- How looking for happiness in a number is based on an illusion
- A couple of reflection questions for you to explore
