When trying to lose weight, most people focus on just that \\u2013\\nweight. The number on the scale. Not only do I think tends to\\nbackfire for most people, it\\u2019s also an accurate representation of\\nwhat we\\u2019re really after (fat loss) and it often prevents us from\\nfocusing on all the other wins \\u2013 non scale victories we have every\\nday and typically overlook.

In today\\u2019s episode I\\u2019ll certainly share my thoughts on effective\\nand ineffective ways to measure fat loss and overall progress, but\\nI want to focus on non scale victories.

We\\u2019ll talk about which, if any, you should begin to measure (and\\nhow) as well as the tremendous benefit they have in your\\njourney.

Here\\u2019s my 10,000 ft view of non-scale victories: they are one of\\nthe most powerful ways to overcome all-or-nothing thinking.

You definitely want to listen to this episode if you struggle\\nwith the scale or with all-or-nothing thinking about weight\\nloss.

Non Scale Victories You Should Measure

When we fall into the trap of all-or-nothing thinking, we fixate\\non something that we aren\\u2019t proud of, a choice that was less than\\nperfect, and, due to our imperfection, we count the day as wasted.\\nNext thing we know, one average choice has triggered 10 awful\\nchoices.

At the root of all-or-nothing thinking is a focus on what wasn\\u2019t\\nperfect or ideal. This is the absolute opposite of non scale\\nvictories.

When we practice monitoring & celebrating non scale\\nvictories, we\\u2019re focusing on what is going right. We\\u2019re looking for\\nprogress beyond the scale and we\\u2019re focusing on the improvements in\\nmindset, moderation, health, energy, fitness and anything in\\nbetween.

Naturally, we focus less on what wasn\\u2019t right and more on what\\nwas\\xa0right.

Plus, we begin to prove to ourselves that progress doesn\\u2019t\\nrequire perfect and we clearly see that all-or-nothing thinking is\\ncounter productive.

There are all kinds of non-scale victories. In today\\u2019s episode\\nI\\u2019m talking about many different categories of non-scale victories\\nand how you can measure them.

Health (blood sugar, hemoglobin A1C, cholesterol,\\ntriglycerides, migraines, etc)

Hormonal biofeedback (sleep, energy, cravings, hunger,\\nmood, menstrual cycle regularity)

Fitness (strength, endurance, consistency,\\nspeed)

Mindset (attitude, negativity, perspective, motivation,\\nconsistency, grace, patience)

Choices (frequency of binges, bouncing back more\\nquickly)

You don\\u2019t want to miss this full episode to hear about how, why\\n& how often you should evaluate these non-scale victories and\\nwhat the focus will do for your results & your motivation.
