8 Common Pitfalls in Weight Loss for Women Over 40

In this episode, I'm sharing a teaching I recorded a while back for a course I created, because I still see these same eight pitfalls trip up women in the weight loss phase today. If you've ever found yourself overeating, self sabotaging, or regaining weight you already worked so hard to lose, this one is for you. I walk through the eight pitfalls I see most often as a health coach, the ones that quietly derail progress even when you're trying really hard, so you can start to see them coming before they take you out.In this episode:We talk about excuses, exceptions, and ego, and why those three things keep so many women from getting all the way to their goal. We talk about perfectionism and the all-or-nothing mindset, and why one off plan bite doesn't have to turn into the whole plate of dessert. We talk about the trap of comparison, and why the only person worth measuring yourself against is who you were six months ago. We get into emotional eating and why the inner work matters as much as the meal plan itself. We talk about NEAT, the sneaky way your body slows you down without you noticing, and why movement outside the gym matters more than people think. We talk about relying on willpower instead of building a plan that removes the guesswork. We talk about following the wrong meal plan, and why the right plan is simply the one you can stick to. And we close with the pitfall of people pleasing, and why your own self care has to come first.Resources mentioned:Grab my free 30 Sugar and Flour Free Meal Ideas at www.healthyrealfood.com/freemealideasJames Clear's failure pre-mortem exercise, mentioned near the end of the episodeReady for support putting this into practice?Book your free strategy session at www.healthyrealfood.com/consult and let's build a plan that actually works for your life.Ready to lose weight for the last time?
