Ep #81: Still 20 Pounds Up… and Still Showing Up

Last year, I gained 20 pounds. This year? The scale hasn’t budged despite all the effort, including giving up refined sugar for an entire month. It's frustrating, and I’m not going to sugarcoat that (pun intended). But instead of letting the frustration win, I’ve been shifting my perspective and looking for the wins that don’t show up on the scale. In this episode, I’m sharing my own story and a client’s story of hitting a plateau and refusing to give up. You’ll hear why maintenance can be a win, how care beats shame every time, and why the stories we tell ourselves are the fuel that keeps us going. If you’ve ever wanted to quit when the scale won’t move, this episode is your reminder: you’re not alone, you’re not failing, and your persistence is worth more than the number.
