When the Scale Goes Up: How to Stop Spiraling and Start Trusting Your Progress | Ep.13

Erin Jowett

If you've ever felt frustrated that your fat loss progress is “too slow,” or panicked when the scale goes up overnight — this episode is for you.

In this deep-dive conversation, Erin unpacks the real reason we struggle with consistency, sabotage our progress, and feel emotionally activated by the slow (but effective) pace of true fat loss. Spoiler: it’s not a willpower problem — it’s a nervous system and ego problem.

You’ll learn:
 ✨ What emotional resistance actually looks like (and why it’s not failure)
 ✨ How the ego attaches to fast results and uses the scale as a moral scoreboard
 ✨ Why regulating your nervous system is more important than doubling down on discipline
 ✨ How to reframe slow progress as the most sustainable kind
 ✨ Practical ways to move through triggers, setbacks, and self-sabotage with compassion

This episode will shift the way you see your body, your timeline, and your healing.
 Because fat loss isn't just about food and workouts — it's about learning how to stay grounded, safe, and self-led when things feel slow, uncertain, or uncomfortable.
