Summary
In episode 257 I talked about the danger of diets. I repeated what I've said a million times before: short term strategies lead to short term solutions.
However, I talked about how there aren't short cuts to lasting success. If you want to not yo-yo diet anymore, if you want to not obsess about food and weight loss for the rest of your life, if you want to feel like you can enjoy indulgences without guilt or regression, there are certain skills you HAVE to build and most diets aren't teaching them.
In today's episode, I'm talking in more detail about those 4 skills and going through specific, real-life examples of how you can begin to build them today.

4 Required Skills You Can't Be Successful Without
- Thinking before you act & not being owned by your impulses or emotions
- Living in the middle (not being only "on" or "off")
- Becoming a "now" person (and not putting off your goals until tomorrow, next week or next month)
- Paying more attention to your body and your goals than other people or programs
In today's episode I'll explain why these are critical skills required for success but also how you can begin practicing them today.
