Description

This episode breaks down one of the most defeating experiences in fitness: losing the weight, only to watch it creep back. But the issue isn’t just the method. It’s the mindset.

Most people don’t gain the weight back because they’re lazy. They gain it back because they never became someone new.

Dillon unpacks why unsustainable plans rooted in shame lead to relapse, how your nervous system pulls you back to the familiar, and what it really takes to keep the result once you’ve earned it.

This isn’t a surface-level conversation about motivation. It’s a raw look at identity, self-trust, and why discipline without healing always fails.

🧠 What You’ll Learn:

• Why most people relapse isn’t about food, it’s about familiarity
• How your old self-image secretly sabotages your progress
• Why hitting the goal weight means nothing if you still feel unworthy
• The reason “getting back on track” keeps failing, and what to do instead
• What it actually looks like to change your default self, not just your actions

✅ Apply This Right Now:

• Stop chasing outcomes that were built on self-hate, you’ll never trust them
• Reflect on the methods you used last time: were they actually sustainable, or just temporarily effective?
• Redefine success: not as hitting a goal, but becoming the person who never abandons themselves again

🔁 Listen now to learn why keeping the weight off has more to do with identity than calories, and how to finally stop the cycle for good.
