Don't let the scale weigh you down

Content Experiments

Experiments

  1. When you notice yourself making judgments, jot them down and then ask yourself, "What can I learn from this?"
  2. When you face a weight-based setback, think before you criticize yourself. What would you say to a friend in a similar position? Now try using that language for yourself.
  3. Befriend the scale. If feelings of dread start to creep in as you get ready to step on, take a moment to stop and think about the bigger picture of what you're learning when you weigh yourself.
