This is down to earth. Im sick of every channel trying to sell me something. Enjoy listening to you!

Yup. I’m one of those “I have to weigh for my health” people. Weight is the easiest thing for me to monitor before it gets out of hand.

Thanks Alicia for this video and to explain to people who maybe didn't see that way  🫶🏻 I never weight myself because I don't want to. I "feel" if I need to eat a bit less or if I loose energy etc. I feel in my clothes and also stomach and sleep. I prefer to carry on this way and not trust a number. I'm so happy you take time to upload videos 🙏🏻 Have a good day 💖 Nadege

I like striving for a healthy body and the weight comes off as it comes off. I love this message and it is an individual process for everyone. There is not a one-size-fits-all.

yes! I stopped weighing myself about 20 years ago. FREEDOM! I listen to how my body feels. If I have an annual physical and the doctor asks me to step on the scale, I say, “I’d rather not. I don’t weigh myself.” They briefly balk, but it’s no big deal.

P.S. I’ve never once owned a scale as an adult.

I love this so much! I'm currently on the world's slowest weight loss journey. 😂 I rarely weigh myself at home and if I'm really upset or something I close my eyes when I get weighed at the doctor's office. I'm not on any specific diet and I'm seeing consistent progress and that's good enough for me. 😊

I actually weighed myself this morning, and got annoyed at the number. It doesn’t reflect how I think I currently look, probably for all the reasons you stated. I’m someone who does use numbers to make sense of the world, but perhaps this isn’t benefiting me when it comes to health. I may ditch the scale, if I feel I can handle the not knowing.

Alicia, couldn’t agree with you more on women needing to stop chasing perfection. Thank you for being a voice of reason! ✨🤍✨

I'm naturally on the super thin side and for me it's a struggle to not lose weight. People are always very jealous of my weight and I get a lot of hate for that.
But no it's not good to be super thin. You're always freezing in autumn and winter. And I have to eat much but not unhealthy fast food because of my damaged colon. It's a struggle.
I haven't weighed myself in years and for me it releases so much pressure to gain weight.
It's not the weight itself it's health and we tend to forget this in our society.

I support this message, but as for me?  I weigh myself most days. I just view it as a tool, nothing more.  I was extremely obese in my late 20s/early 30s, and maintaining a loss of over 100 lb for many years now (age 49 and just slightly overweight).  I recognize that my own situation isn't typical though.  I lack hunger and satiety cues and have a tendency to unintentionally undereat when exercising more, and drink calories which packs on weight.  I tracked my calories for more than a decade but again, as a tool only.  I don't do that anymore but the scale is my friend, keeping me aware of how different foods and various levels of rest and exercise impact my body.

Love this. I haven't personally weighed myself in over a decade (not counting doctor appointments). There are so many other markers that I can look to as a way to evaluate my health. As long as I am taking care of my body and there are no underlying issues, the way my body looks is how it is support so look.

I have weighed myself frequently in the past, but since I can get obsessive about data points and numbers (in all areas of life), it felt healthiest for me to let that practice go. That said, I don't fluctuate in size and I have been slim my whole life, so that likely made it easier for me than someone in a different position.

You trickster. I’ve been watching you long enough that when you said “Today’s video is sponsored by..” I immediately said to myself “Did I hear that right?!” Thanks for staying true to you! ❤

I refused to weigh myself for 2 yrs but I then gained 10 kg. I think the reason why I don’t want to go on the scale because I KNEW I was gaining weight but didn’t want to see the actual number. Then on September I did blood work to check on my cholesterol & blood sugar and found out I was pre diabetic but my cholesterol was normal. Now I’m on a weight loss journey and lost 9kg so far & I weigh my body everyday as a data but I’m not bothered by the numbers because I’m doing something good for my health and it pays off, I’m no longer pre diabetic ❤

Your perspectives are always so well thought out and explained. I believe every woman at one time or another has questioned their weight as to what’s considered acceptable because that’s what we are sold in every day social media .The importance is asking why and flipping the script doing the work and as you said doing it for energy, strength and overall well being and not the other. Thank you for your vulnerability and valuable takeaways❤

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻the scale was toxic for me so I stopped weighing myself

This video Is invaluable! I could talk about this topic for hours because I work at a gym and daily see many of these behaviours ..i don't remember the last time i weighed myself....ages ago....i am not atached  at numbers....i know when i'm out of balance  and in my case that's generaly because all the " wu wu "  reasons you mentioned...i congratulate you for surviving  the athlete/ perforrming environment that Is sadly so toxic!! Always interesting hearing you!❤😊

Me encanta como es que estas desmitificando el paradigma de la báscula . Hay que romper todos esos arquetipos tóxicos.

you’re beautiful! it’s always a pleasure to listen to you

I haven't weighed myself in over 15 years, I go with clothing sizes. I've been wearing the same size for years and years, but in the last 4 and a half years I lost what I think it's about 40 lbs by walking a lot and giving up foods that made me feel sick and bloated. I'm 55 and premenopausal so I had gained some weight but my clothes still fit as I only wear loose clothes. Now they're all large on me but I don't care, I tighten the belt 😂😂
There's one thing I do once or twice a month though: I measure my hips, waist and thighs with a tape. I know when it's only water retention or weight gain at this point.

I don't own one either. Never have. The only time I get on a scale is when the doctor asks me to—that's how I leaned that I lost (I think) about 10 pounds. I did notice that my clothes were hanging off me so I figured I'd lost weight but did not know how much. (In case anyone is wondering, I apparently lost this weight because I stopped drinking alcohol.)
