When it comes to tracking your progress on a weight loss journey, the number on the scales can be both encouraging and demoralizing.  While it's natural to want to see the number go down as you make progress, it's important to remember that there are many factors that can influence the number on the scale in the short term. In this episode I'll discuss why it's always important to focus on fat loss rather than just the number on the scales as there are many reasons why your weight can fluctuate such as the amount of food in your system, glycogen, water weight, and muscle weight can all influence the number in the short term. By paying attention to these factors  and reprogramming your mind to see the scales as a tool for interpret data rather a measure of your own self worth and success, you can then start tracking progress your in a holistic way and get a more accurate picture of your progress on your weight loss journey. ?
