EP 272. How to Stop Freaking Out When the Scale Goes Up

You know that Monday-morning moment when you step on the scale after a fun weekend… and it’s up three to five pounds? Cue the mental chaos: What did I eat? Why did I do that?

Take a deep breath, friend. The scale didn’t betray you — it just gave you data.

In this episode of Stop. Dieting. Forever., I’m teaching you how to decode those numbers and ditch the drama. You’ll learn the Stop Dieting Forever Mindset — how to turn scale spikes into simple feedback, and how to use my five-point Satisfaction Scale so you can trust your body, not a diet rule.

We’ll talk hydration, hormones, nervous-system calm, and why babies and zebras are your new nutrition mentors (yes, really).

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• How to reframe the scale as data, not doom

• Why daily weight fluctuations are normal (think stress, sleep, sodium + glycogen)

• The Satisfaction Scale (1 = starving → 5 = satisfied) and how to use it

• The hidden link between emotional regulation and consistent weight loss

• How to activate your natural “stop button” — aka your appestat

• The mindset shift that separates a dieter from a woman who’s done dieting forever
