Episode 25: Mindset First, Weight Loss Second: A Bariatric Journey

Send us a text

Weight loss requires more than physical changes, it demands a mental shift that starts in your head and continues with small steps toward sustainable health.

• The Plus One Theory focuses on adding one more positive choice, step, or belief to finish stronger than you started
• Weight loss requires more than surgery, medication, or coaching, it needs mindset transformation
• At nearly 300 pounds, my health deteriorated with migraines, infections, and high blood pressure
• Bariatric surgery became my tool, not my solution, after nearly dying from surgical complications
• The bariatric lifestyle requires strict portion control, hydration, protein intake, and supplement regimens
• Obesity is a disease, not a character flaw or simple choice
• Small mindset shifts work better than any diet plan for sustainable weight management
• Practical strategies include pre-portioning snacks, packing half restaurant meals before eating, and food journaling
• Overcoming shame is essential, you are not defined by your regain or slip-ups
