How in the world do you stay consistent and "motivated" long enough to lose 65 lbs?

As I reflect on my 50th year (which I hoped would be my healthiest year ever), I recognized that the health lessons I really needed, I learned when I lost 65 lbs in my late 40s.

When people ask me how I stayed consistent, it all came down to three big lessons, which I unpack here.

In this episode:

📌 Learning how to work with your brain instead of fighting against it's natural wiring, allows you to stay consistent whether you have motivation or not.

📌 Find small wins, because motivation and discipline don't show up everyday. Finding excitement in the small wins can help you keep moving toward your bigger goal.

📌 The truth is that sustained weight loss is long and boring...but you can train you brain to celebrate all the victories along the way!

If you're struggling with your weight loss journey, or you want to be more resilient in midlife and beyond, this is the episode for you!
