How to Determine Your Ideal Weight

Episode Summary:

People often think that the number on the scale or your BMI determine your ideal weight and whether or not you’re healthy. The truth is, these are not accurate measurements of overall health.

Or we go by what society tells us we should look like. Always striving for that “ideal,” which is impossible to achieve, and always leaves us feeling like we failed.

We compare ourselves to celebrities, people we know, and people we see on Instagram. 

On today’s episode, I’ll show you how to find that “sweet spot” in determining what is healthy for you, why “skinny” does not equal happy or healthy, and how to enjoy life NOW instead of waiting till you’re a certain size. 

“It’s not about the number on the scale. Your ideal weight is not one-size-fits-all. It’s personal to you. It’s about being healthy, happy, and comfortable in your own body.”

- Sarah Haas

Host Bio:

Sarah Haas is a Women’s Weight Release Expert and Body Love Coach. Her passion is helping midlife women release weight, transform their health, and step into the badass, Boss Body life they deserve.

Her health journey began when her six-year-old son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. She threw herself into studying and learning all about nutrition. And in the process, she made some big changes herself for her kids and family. 

Iin 2019 she was diagnosed with stage II breast cancer. She realized her life was centered on caring for everyone else (work, kids, family, etc.). Everyone except herself. She realized that stress, lack of self-care, and not listening to her body’s messages was literally making her sick.

Throughout her cancer treatments, she focused on her own self-care. And it paid off! Today she is completely cancer-free, and not only does she have her health and energy back, but she also has more strength, joy, and vitality than she ever imagined.
