the one mindset shift that will help you stay the journey for your best results

note.... its not only the scale weight that can set you off, its not only seeing yourself in progress photos either. its the constant body checks, mirrors, how your clothes feel. yes even that...

Why time outside of a deficit is so important even if you have fat to lose.. Theres things that need to be addressed so that fat loss can be short, sharp and effective

LEARN FROM THE LESSONS - you need self awareness

When you do hard things and over come them… if its in line with the life you want to live, who you want to be, - you feel so good for it

The moment you decide to diet, fatigue can start peaking because now your mind is on “less calories” blah bloah blah FAT LOSS IS HARD when you do it right - maintenance is easy

Thats how it should be only its not

Everything in life requires effort. 😜 If anyone sells anything as “effortless,” rest assured they’re full of shit.

By nature, life in maintenance is more flexible and has more freedom than a calorie deficit. But it’s not mindless or effortless.

Too many think that “after the diet,” they can just go back to “normal” and expect to maintain their progress.

Tracking

As adults we hate being bad at things

LEAN IN to maintenance

Talk about ali….

Track to learn about how you feel with food and whats in food

Body positivity & self compassion …..

Timelines make it hard to allow yourself to get there

Also summer comes around every year and we all think hat we need to shred for it and fuck ourselves over

Youre going to mess up - relapse

BEING OKAY WITH NOT MUCH CHANGING

+ COGNITIVE BIASES/DISTORTIONS

Body image & neutrality even when you want to change your body

Self talk

We all have that one thing we hate but we feel great after

You don't get comfy with something new by avoiding it

Stress management

“We are a luxury” we actually arent…. We are a first line intervention

Pausing is a super power

Why People Believe It: The calorie-burning nature of cardio creates the impression that more cardio equals more fat loss. The immediate sweat and heart rate spike make it feel like the fastest way to slim down.

Why It Seems True: Cardio does burn calories and can contribute to fat loss, but it doesn’t address the bigger picture of body recomposition.
