Summary
Do you have a big weight loss goal but find yourself making choices that work against it every single day? You're not alone - and the problem might actually be the goal itself. In this episode, we dive into why focusing on your ultimate weight loss number can make daily food decisions feel impossible and keep you stuck in cycles of overeating. We'll explore the surprising psychology behind why that "60 pounds to lose" goal might be sabotaging your progress and discuss a completely different approach to thinking about weight loss that actually works. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the mountain you need to climb or found yourself giving up because the end feels too far away, this episode will shift everything.
