32. How we get busy admins to lose the weight without losing their minds

In this episode, I sit down with one of my rockstar clients, Abby Coffin, to talk about what it really looks like to balance bariatric success with a high-powered career and family life. Abby is a full-time executive, a mom, and someone who knows what it feels like to be pulled in a hundred directions at once — and still found a way to make her health a priority.We get into everything: how she uses meal planning to stay on track, why perfectionism almost derailed her, and the exact habits that keep her consistent (even when her schedule is chaos). Abby also opens up about the mindset shifts and accountability strategies that changed the game for her post-surgery.If you’ve ever felt like you’re too busy to focus on your health or that “something’s gotta give,” this conversation is going to hit home.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Bariatric Coaching and Client Journey01:23 Abby's Background and Initial Struggles02:59 Balancing Work, Family, and Nutrition04:42 Overcoming Perfectionism in Nutrition06:59 Adapting Meal Planning Strategies08:28 Simplifying Nutrition for Busy Lifestyles09:20 The Importance of Flexibility in Meal Choices11:26 Home Gym Benefits and Fitness Routine13:28 Accountability in Weightlifting and Progress Tracking14:31 Building Confidence Through Weightlifting16:50 Understanding Sleep and Its Impact on Fitness19:54 Managing Nutrition During Travel22:53 Finding Balance During Road Trips24:04 Navigating Food Choices on Vacation29:03 Shifting Mindset: Scale vs. Body Composition32:31 Building Sustainable Habits for Success39:23 Maximizing Time: Making Every Minute Count
