Summary
Today’s episode was inspired by a message from a listener who’s done it all — Weight Watchers, lap band surgery, Ozempic — and still feels like lasting change is slipping through her fingers. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “Will I ever get there?” — this one is for you.
We’re unpacking:
-
Why your past does not get to define your future
-
How the “just eat less” mindset is sabotaging real progress
-
Why chasing “normal” eating might be the wrong goal
-
What to do when your tools (like Ozempic) feel like they’re slipping away
If you're feeling stuck or scared — or if you’ve tried everything and still feel lost — you’re not alone. And there’s a way forward.

| 0:07.1 | Consistent, a podcast by Primal Potential that is for all of you who feel frustrated by your lack of |
| 0:13.3 | progress or overwhelmed by all the change that you want to make in your life. Here, we stop frantically |
| 0:20.5 | chasing new habits and start |

| 0:29.0 | Hello, everybody, and welcome back to the primal potential podcast. I am Elizabeth Benton. |
| 0:36.3 | I can't wait to talk to you about this episode that was prompted |
| 0:39.8 | by a message I got from a client. And it goes into the feeling of it's never going to be |
| 0:48.2 | different. The way things have always been is a limiter, a governor on what is possible for me, this sense of like, |
| 0:56.8 | I don't even know what normal is or feeling trapped by thinking that you just have to eat |
| 1:03.0 | less and less and less and less and you're just never going to get there or it's never going |
| 1:07.5 | to feel easier or you're never going to feel good. |
| 1:10.8 | There are so many themes in this, even if you can't relate to the details and specifics of |
| 1:15.9 | this particular message I got from a client, the patterns of trying again, doubting yourself, |
| 1:23.6 | feeling frustrated, feeling hopeless, not even sure, not even being sure of where you're trying to go |
| 1:29.9 | and how to get there, that is what we are getting into today. And what I want to do is |
| 1:37.9 | read parts of this message and then get into the three themes. Again, those themes are going to be |
| 1:49.6 | believing that your past dictates your future, feeling really limited by the way things have |
| 1:57.1 | been, how we've oversimplified nutrition to think we just have to eat less and how |
| 2:03.8 | much less can we eat and that feeling like a battle you can't win. And then the last one is this |
| 2:10.7 | idea of I don't even know what normal is or how to figure it out for myself. So let me start by |
