About this episode
In this episode, Phoebe discusses why many women give up on weight loss and the importance of being prepared for challenges.
Most women don’t fail at weight loss because they lack willpower - they fail because they weren’t prepared for the dip. In this episode, I talk about delayed gratification, “Churchillian drift,” and why success is failure without loss of enthusiasm. 👉 Start here: https://fatlossfundamentals.co.uk
