The Drop 8 Diaries: Why the Scale Doesn't Tell the Whole Story

Hey babe, have you ever had a week where life feels like a lot—grief, stress, work chaos—and the scale just won’t budge no matter how on-plan you are? That’s exactly what this episode is about.
We’re back with another Drop 8 Diaries check-in with Meghan, who’s 11 days into her goal to lose 7–10 pounds this month. But this isn’t just about weight. It’s about what it looks like to keep showing up for yourself even when it’s hard—and why that’s a bigger win than the number on the scale.
You’ll hear how Meghan honored her plan even when she really wanted to reach for a glass of wine. She shares her journaling breakthrough, her alcohol guardrails (and why they help her sleep better), and the mantra that’s literally changing her life. Spoiler alert: it’s so good, Laura started using it too.
We also unpack:
• Why maintaining your weight through grief is a legit win
• What to do when your brain tries to rationalize “just one glass”
• How to use almost-immediate gratification to stick to your plan
• Why journaling is a remembering practice (not a chore!)
• What it means to meet your own needs before the pantry raid
Plus: Meghan’s not afraid to weigh herself more than once a day—and she explains how this practice actually helped her de-condition the drama around the scale.
If you’re ready to ditch the “all or nothing” trap and actually care for yourself through the ups and downs of life, this episode is your permission slip to do just that. It’s real, raw, and SO encouraging.
