Does the number on the scale control how you feel about yourself? Do you let it decide what or how much you eat, the amount of cardio you’ll do or even how you see your own worth?

For years, I let the scale dictate my choices and emotions—but luckily I learned to let that habit go. 🙂

Welcome back to Motivated with Meg! Today, we’re exploring how to break free from the scale’s hold, why weight fluctuations are normal, and how to embrace gentle nutrition. If you’re ready to step off the emotional rollercoaster of scale obsession and into a space of self-trust and balance, this episode is for you.

Topics Covered
  • Storytime: back when I was consumed by the number on the scale..
  • How the scale became a habit I didn’t question—and how I broke free
  • Why weight fluctuations are like the stock market
  • What gentle nutrition is and how it helps you make choices, and
  • Your weekly experiment!
