033: Using the WATER framework for weight loss success

โ€ข Episode 33

If you haven't already - listen to Episode 9 first about how you can "make sure" that the scale goes down tomorrow... (it may not be what you expect!!)

In this episode of The More Mindful Podcast, Julia discusses the emotional challenges of weight loss, particularly the anxiety that can come from fluctuating scale readings. She introduces the W.A.T.E.R framework - designed to help you maintain perspective and resilience throughout your journey. 

This framework gives you FIVE things to consider every single time you want to throw in the towel on your health or weight loss journey. Using W.A.T.E.R as your guide, you'll have the tools to talk yourself OFF the ledge and push through with resilience instead of falling into self-sabotage again!!

Some key takeaways from this episode:

  • The scale can cause stress during weight loss (right??), so it's important to understand how to use the scale (and how NOT to use the scale!!)
  • Consistency and accountability are essential for reaching your weight loss goals.
  • Having the right expectations is essential, so don't skip this step!! 
  • Recognize factors that affect what the scale says...like workouts and your monthly cycle. Let's walk through what other factors can be at play, so you can recognize the patterns!
  • Celebrate other forms of progress beyond just the scale, such as how your clothes fit and your emotional well-being.
