About this episode

This episode explores the disconnect between knowing what to do for weightloss and actually doing it, focusing on the mental struggles involved.

You know exactly what to do. You've done the diets, read the books, paid for the expensive programs. The information makes sense. So why, the second it's time to actually do it, does all of it fly right out the window? And then comes the beating: I must be lazy. I don't have willpower. I guess I just don't want it bad enough. In this episode, I break down why knowing what to do and actually doing it are two completely different things when it comes to weightloss. I walk you through the tug-of-war going on in your head (your planner, your habit brain, and your reward brain), why willpower was never your weightloss problem, the one question to ask yourself instead of "do I feel like it," and how a change so small it feels stupid is what actually moves your weightloss forward. If you've ever known exactly what to do and still didn't do it, this one's going to change how you see your weightloss for good. Get the Free Course here: http://NoBSFreeCourse.com
