I'm eight days into weighing myself every single day and sharing my raw, unfiltered thoughts about the number on Instagram. And let me tell you, this has brought up SO much stuff. Shame, comparison, anxiety about the weekend, thoughts I didn't even know I still had.

But here's what I'm realizing: it's not the NUMBER that's the problem. It's what we MAKE that number mean about us.

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what's come up for me in the first eight days of this challenge. I'm sharing the actual thoughts that have popped into my head when the scale doesn't cooperate, when it brings up shame and comparison, and when I'm anxious about "blowing it" on the weekends. And I'm giving you the exact tools I'm using to manage my brain about the scale so you can use them too.

We're covering what to do when you think you're doing everything right and the scale doesn't cooperate, how to handle shame and comparison when you step on the scale, what to do when you're anxious about weekends or events, and the most important question: can YOU weigh yourself without making it mean something about you?

Whether you weigh yourself every day, once a week, or never, this episode is for you. Because even if you never step on a scale, these tools will help you manage your thoughts about your body, your progress, and yourself.

I want to hear from YOU. What's your relationship with the scale like? Does it mess with your head? Do you avoid it? Email me at stacy@sascy.com or send me a DM on Instagram. I'm reading everything, and I want to help.

You know what to do. You've set the goal. You're motivated. But then week two hits, motivation fades, life gets busy, and you give up. Sound familiar?

In this episode, I'm sharing two very personal stories from my own life. One where I lost 50 pounds completely alone (and why it was SO much harder than it needed to be), and one where I hired a personal trainer for strength training (and everything changed).

The difference? Support.

I'll walk you through what happened when I kept my weight loss journey a secret, why I was terrified to ask for help, and how trying to figure it all out on my own made everything take longer and feel harder. Then I'll share what shifted when I finally decided to do things differently with strength training and got the support I needed.

Here's the truth: Knowing what to do isn't the hard part. The hard part is doing it when you're tired, staying on track when life gets crazy, not giving up when you mess up, and keeping it going when motivation fades. That's where support makes all the difference.

If you're tired of doing this alone and ready for someone in your corner who won't let you quit, I have a few spots opening for 90-day individual coaching. Email me at stacy@sascy.com with the word INTERESTED and let's talk about whether this is a good fit for you.

You don't have to figure this out alone. You don't have to keep starting over.

Did you know the second Friday of January is called National Quitter's Day? By mid-January, most people have already abandoned their New Year's resolutions.

But what if this year was different?

Today I'm sharing the exact 5-step framework I used to lose 50 pounds and keep it off, and how you can use it to set goals that actually STICK.

You'll learn how to get clear on what you ACTUALLY want (not what you "should" want), why you need ONE priority (not ten), the small doable actions that work better than massive overhauls, what to do when life gets crazy and you can't do everything, and the mindset shift that keeps you going when you mess up.

I'm also sharing what I'm hearing from women in my current challenge: goals like incorporating 2 strength workouts a week, doing a pull-up by the end of the year, drinking 80 oz of water daily, and one woman who realized she doesn't just want to lose weight. She wants to be stronger and faster on her bike so she can go backpacking this summer.

If you're tired of quitting by February, this episode gives you a plan that works.

And listen, if you're hearing this in real time, I'm running a FREE 5-day January Jumpstart Challenge right now. Head to www.sascy.com/challenge to join us or get on the waitlist for the next one.
