#117 - 7 weeks of "lazy" maintenance
From Fat Loss Fundamentals by Phoebe Cartwright

About this episode
Phoebe discusses her experience of maintaining weight during travel and the importance of viewing weight loss as a long-term identity change.
After seven weeks of travel and living in a caravan, I returned home to find my weight pretty much exactly the same despite a total lack of routine. This episode explores why weight loss must be treated as an identity shift rather than a temporary project, and why most women fail because they skip the maintenance bridge entirely. I break down the tactical non-negotiables I used on the road to stay in control without the misery of all-or-nothing thinking. For help, head to fatlossfundamentals.co.uk
