🎓 Join the Free Stop Overeating Class 📱 Join the Christian Weight-Loss App Waitlist EPISODE SUMMARY Have you ever: walked for 5 minutes followed your plan for one meal returned to your protocol after overeating …and immediately thought: That doesn’t really count. For many of us, it’s not that we’re not doing anything — it’s that we’re dismissing what we are doing because it doesn’t feel big enough to matter. When we minimize small follow-through: we don’t build trust with ourselves we don’t gather evidence and we don’t reinforce the identity of someone who shows up consistently So even when we follow through in small ways, our brain never logs it as: “I’m someone who follows through.” “I’m someone who returns.” “I’m someone who can do this.” In this episode, we talk about why consistency isn’t built through perfect weeks or big effort — but through repeated small follow-through. You’ll learn: why 5 minutes still counts how dismissing small effort keeps you stuck in the cycle of losing and gaining weight and how returning to your protocol (instead of starting over) builds real evidence that change is possible KEYWORDS Christian weight loss, stop overeating, emotional eating…
