119. Want To Lose 10 Pounds Before Summer? STOP Starting Over and Do This Instead
from Lose Weight Mindfully | weight loss, mindful eating, healthy recipes, emotional eating, boost energy · host Jackie Kirschen, Registered Dietitian, Weight Loss Nutritionist & Mindful Eating Coach
Real talk, it is May, summer is literally around the corner, and if you have said "I need to lose 10 pounds before summer" approximately 47 times in the last five years, this episode is for you. Because the problem is not that you can't lose the weight. The problem is that you keep starting over instead of just keeping going. Starting over is not a fresh start. It's the same cycle with a different date on it. And until you break that cycle, the weight is not going anywhere.In this episode, I am breaking down exactly why you keep starting over and it is not a discipline problem or a motivation problem. It is a systems problem. We are talking about why your plan is too perfect for real life, why motivation will always let you down, and why one bad day keeps snowballing into a full restart every single week.But more importantly, I am giving you a simple 4-step summer plan that actually works with your real life, not the perfect version of it. You will learn how to pick one non-negotiable habit that compounds over time, how to make the healthy choice embarrassingly easy, two powerful questions to ask yourself every morning and every night, and why actually living your summer, the barbecues, the pool days, the vacations, is not the enemy of your weight loss. It is actually the key to it.You do not need a new plan. You need to stop abandoning the one that was working. Press play and let's make this the last summer you ever have to start over.xoxo,JackieMORE FROM JACKIE: << Ready to lose weight, fix your metabolism & reach your body transformation goals without restriction?
