253. The #1 Reason the Scale Is Stuck

Have you ever wondered why the scale just won’t move, no matter how much effort you put in? It’s a frustration we’ve all experienced, but what if the problem isn’t the number itself… but how we’re making our food choices? Today, I want to dive into the concept of “buckets,” a simple tool that helps shift your mindset from reacting to food in the moment to making intentional, thoughtful decisions. These buckets can be the key to breaking through that plateau and aligning your choices with the results you truly want.

These buckets are like your roadmap, helping you align with how your naturally thin self would eat, based on your hunger level and how you want to feel after a meal. Think of it as a way to recalibrate, not just your eating habits, but your relationship with food. Taking this a step further, I explore how small, intentional choices – made before you even sit down to eat – can make all the difference in long-term success.

Tune in to this episode and you’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on how to break through that frustrating weight-loss plateau. You’ll learn how to use “buckets” to make intentional food decisions that align with your naturally thin self, and discover how small, pre-planned choices can make a big difference in how you feel after meals. Plus, you’ll gain practical tips on recommitting to your goals, recalibrating your focus, and finally getting the scale to move in the direction you want.
