Episode #205: The Part of Weight Loss No One Talks About

Summary 

In today’s episode, I’m sharing the one shift I wish I had made sooner—because it would have saved me years of frustration and a very familiar cycle many overachievers know all too well. If you’re someone who thrives on gold stars, results, and external validation, this episode may gently challenge how you’ve been measuring success… and why that might be the very thing keeping your results fragile.

We’ll talk about what really happens after the goal weight, the quiet danger of boredom and complacency, and the missing piece that makes follow-through feel sustainable instead of punishing. This is a conversation about pride, reward, and how to turn your plan into a true lifestyle—without needing more discipline, willpower, or pressure.
