How much do you weigh?

What if you understood your body so well that you knew how much you weighed without having to weigh yourself?

Do you get on the scale and experience a “negative” emotion [anxious, tense, worried] as you wait for the scale to tell you how much you weigh? Here is an alternative: if weighing yourself is important, rather than giving the scale the power to make or break your day, tune into your body and guess your weight. How close to the number on the scale are you? If you are not close the first time, keep playing this game until the gap between your guess and the scale closes.

The goal is not to judge yourself about the number that appears on the scale. The idea is to take your power back and learn to make friends with your body, and see your body as your ally.

Eventually you will find that you can trust yourself to know how much you weigh … without the scale.
