#217 | Are You Focused on the Wrong Thing? Why Weight Loss Isn’t Working for Women over 40

Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but nothing is really changing? In this episode, we talk about how easy it is to focus on the latest trend — a new workout, a new diet, or a new “fix” — and miss the bigger picture of what actually needs to change. None of these things are bad, but when we use them to avoid the real work, we stay stuck.  After you listen, I’d love to hear from you. Send me a message on Facebook or email me and tell me what you thought you needed to do before this episode — and what you realized you actually need to focus on now. Reflection questions:  What do I want my life and health to look like one year from now? Does what I’m doing right now actually support that? What got in my way last week? Be specific. Where do I tend to go off the rails — weekends, stress, social events, boredom? Am I looking for a shortcut instead of a habit? What feels uncomfortable that I keep avoiding? If I stopped chasing new plans, what’s one boring thing I know would help?
