Welcome back to Weight Loss Wednesday. In episode 158, I’m answering your questions on motivation, calorie adjustments, intuitive eating, exercise, comparison, and a very real conversation about loose skin and visibility. This episode is honest, practical, and a reminder that you do not need expensive tools, perfect circumstances, or anyone’s approval to lose weight.
What I cover in this episode:
• How to stay motivated when you’re comparing yourself to people with personal trainers, medications, or resources you don’t have
• Why you do not need money, coaching, or exercise to lose weight
• How comparison can quietly turn into self-sabotage and how to spot it
• How often to adjust your calorie target and when to recalculate your TDEE
• Whether calorie tracking apps automatically adjust your numbers
• Why I switched from regular cola to Diet Coke and eventually Coke Zero
• Managing calories and blood sugar without giving up the things you enjoy
• My honest thoughts on intuitive eating and why it was not a weight loss strategy for me
• When, or if, exercise played a role in my 200-pound weight loss
• Why exercise can be a barrier and why it does not have to be part of weight loss
• Addressing comments about loose skin, visibility, and why I choose not to hide it
• Why I am not ashamed of my body, before or after weight loss
• A reminder that weight loss is a solo pursuit and you are capable of doing this on your own
This episode is a reminder that you can lose weight with the tools you already have, that perfection is not required, and that your body does not need to be hidden to be worthy of respect.
