Ever catch yourself doing the same self-sabotaging behaviors over and over again—like emotional eating, stress snacking, or wasting hours on the couch instead of taking action? In this episode, I break down the four stages of awareness that will help you recognize and stop these destructive patterns before they take over.

You’ll learn:

  • Why you keep repeating the same behaviors (even when you don’t want to).
  • How to move from retroactive awareness (realizing after the fact) to mastery (stopping it before it starts).
  • The power of pattern interruption—and why small, intentional changes can break lifelong habits.
  • Simple techniques, including journaling, thought-challenging, and environment shifts, to rewire your brain for success.


This episode isn’t just about weight loss—it’s about regaining control over your mind and your life. If you’re ready to stop getting in your own way and start seeing real change, this is the episode for you.

From the headquarters of the Guild of Champions, this is the Chris Terrell podcast.

0:14.8

I am your host, Chris Terrell, and welcome to another week of your weight loss quest.

0:22.6

How did this last week go for you, champion? What new challenges did you encounter?

0:24.6

But more importantly, what failure did you go through and what lesson did you get from that failure?

0:30.6

Come on now. Don't let a perfectly good failure go by without you getting your lesson.

0:35.6

That's your reward for your troubles. Now if you're new here,

0:38.6

I've lost 125 pounds myself after an entire adulthood of chronic yo-yo dieting. Up, down,

0:45.2

up, down again. Before I finally got sick and tired of being sick and tired. And I made some

0:50.0

permanent, meaningful, and actual changes to my lifestyle, habits, or teens, environment, community,

0:55.5

and to my systems of belief. It's all of those things that create me, and it's all of those

1:00.2

things that will create you too. And if you want to get new results in your life, you're going to have

1:03.8

to go and change those things, just like I did myself. Now I'm here every week, helping people like you lose the way to keep it off for good.

1:14.3

And I'd love to see you do that. Now, this journey's going to be long. It's going to take,

1:18.6

it's going to take a long time. However long you think it's going to take, it's probably going to

1:22.6

take longer, more than likely. So just settle in, enjoy the ride, and find joy in the doing.

1:30.1

Enjoying the working on yourself, the joy and working on your dreams,

1:35.3

the joy and discovering who you've always wanted to be.

1:39.4

You can do that on a weight loss journey.

1:40.8

Did you know that?

1:41.6

Nothing actually stopping you from doing that.

1:44.0

The only person stopping you is you.

1:45.8

And when you stop stopping yourself, there'll be no one left to stop you.
