Hey there, it's Ren, and I have an eye-opener for you in Episode 18. You know that goal weight you've been aiming for? I get it, numbers can feel concrete and achievable. But what if I told you that number might lead you down a path to frustration? Yep, I'm diving into why setting a goal weight might not be your best compass for health.
Firstly, let's chat about where these numbers come from. BMI charts? Crafted in the 1800s for European men. So unless you're a time-traveling Victorian, maybe it's time to reconsider. Or is your goal weight a nostalgic nod to your younger years? Trust me, I understand the allure of the past, but a number on a scale won't bring back those carefree days. And hey, if mom or dad set that number for you ages ago, remember, you're your own person now with your own health journey.
So, why not tune in? I've got three heartfelt reasons to focus on intentions rather than digits. Because at the end of the day, the only numbers that truly matter are the countless moments of joy and well-being you gift yourself by living a healthier life.
