How to Measure Health Progress When You’re Seeking Food Freedom

You’re living a brand new lifestyle now that you’re learning to walk in food freedom. You’re breaking old habits and patterns that had you stuck in an all-or-nothing dieting cycle for years—maybe even for most of your life. 

The Old You kept the bathroom scale front and center, and used it often…every day sometimes, or even or multiple times a day. Plus, you kept your tape measure handy, and charted your measurements at the chest, waist, hip and thigh far more often than anyone ever needs to.

But not the New You!

The New You knows that your value lies far deeper than the number on your scale, the size of your jeans, or the how many calories you consume in a day.

You know now that food is just food, weight is just a number, and you don’t need to wait until Monday to start again. So the bathroom scale is gathering dust in the corner, and the measuring tape has found its way to the bottom of the drawer.

And yet…

While you’re loving this new you and the new lifestyle you’ve created, you wonder how to measure your health progress without falling back into your old all-or-nothing ways.
