009: How can I make sure that the scale goes down tomorrow?

Julia Lynch Episode 9

In this episode, Julia discusses how to prevent the scale from going up and the importance of fair expectations in weight loss, including how  "A new low on the scale is usually a preview of what's to come when you stay the course."

She explains why daily weigh-ins are irrelevant and how the scale is not a measure of fat loss in the short term - but instead, how to use your daily weigh ins to read a pattern and trend in your weight loss journey long-term.

Instead, she encourages listeners to focus on making decisions that align with their long-term goals and to think about the inputs they can control, such as nutrition and habits. 

She also introduces the concept of future self-thinking and how it can help in making choices that serve our future selves.
