I got an email the other day that I want to share with you guys. \\xa0I think this email could have been written by any one of us and it represents one of the most significant issues keeping us from reaching our goals: \\xa0the on-again-off-again cycle.

The beautiful woman who emailed me wants to change. \\xa0She wants to be healthy. \\xa0She wants to be a better example for her kids. \\xa0She wants to feel better about herself.

She doesn\'t kinda want it. \\xa0She really wants it.

But...

She consistently makes food choices that aren\'t doing her any favors. \\xa0She overeats. \\xa0She overindulges. \\xa0She doubts her ability to change. \\xa0She doubts that health is really\\xa0achievable for her. \\xa0She wants so badly to learn how to get unstuck!

Man, I completely\\xa0understand these struggles and frustrations.....been there... and it\'s a hard place to be!

In today\'s podcast, we will explore\\xa0a new mindset and some simple strategies\\xa0that will help you\\xa0break\\xa0this ebb and flow cycle.

Are you ready to\\xa0find out how to get unstuck and put your\\xa0doubts and frustrations behind you?

How To Get Unstuck
I\'ve faced the on-again-off-again cycle many times. \\xa0It\'s exhausting, pure\\xa0and simple!

I\'ll share with you parts of her email:

I found your podcast about a month ago on Spotify. I was randomly scrolling though looking for something to listen to and I found primal potential. I cant remember exactly what episode it was but I remember you were talking about not arguing for our limitations. I was hooked.

I have always been a heavy girl. I really ballooned up when I had my children. right now I am sitting at 270 I am 5\\u20193\\u2033.

I have always tried to lose weight I will start off strong and then I will mess up and I\\u2019m like f*@k it.

I\\xa0will be all gung ho to get it together and then have a bad day or week and reach for the convenience of ordering something or picking up something quick. I have to break that habit for our heath and our finances.
I want to change our lifestyle before it negatively effects our children any more than it already has.

Anyway all of this rambling is basically to ask where you think I should start. I\\u2019m tired of being fat. I\\u2019m tired of hating my body. I\\u2019m just so over it and I\\u2019m so lost on what to do. I\\u2019m convinced that I will never be healthy because I haven\\u2019t my whole life.

I\\u2019m stuck in that toxic place that is telling me it doesn\\u2019t matter how much I try I will never be able to do it and I\\u2019m over it. I want to get out of there. I want to believe in myself. I want to change my quality of life so I can enjoy it with my children!\\xa0

She says she starts\\xa0out all gung-ho but then falls back into old habits. \\xa0Don\'t get me wrong- it\'s great to have motivation and enthusiasm but, you can be setting yourself up for failure with the pedal to the medal 0-60 approach.

You know what I mean, starting out, right out of the gate and deciding, "I\'m going to\\xa0eat more vegetables, drink more water, eat less sugar, workout more, sleep more, stress less, find healthy recipes, stop eating out" -- get my point?

You are likely trying to do too much, too fast and setting yourself up to feel overwhelmed and like you haven\'t cleared the high bar you set.

Here are the recommendations I made to this listener to help her figure out how to get unstuck.

Step 1:\\xa0 Don\'t change anything at all. \\xa0For 7-14 days, just track. Write down what you eat and how it makes you feel. You need to establish your baseline. What you\'re doing, how it impacts your energy, where you\'re starting from. No pressure, just paying attention.

Step 2:\\xa0 Simplify.\\xa0 Make ONE change. \\xa0 Don\'t add more until your initial change feels effortless. \\xa0In my Fat Loss Fast Track groups, we typically start with breakfast. To learn more about how to make breakfast a fat burning meal, listen to this podcast\\xa0or this one.

Step 3:\\xa0 Change your mind.\\xa0 Stop arguing for your limitations and disqualifying yourself from change or growth. \\xa0Remember, the past doesn\'t define the present or the future unless you choose to make the same choices. Each new day brings the opportunity to make a different choice.

You don\'t want to miss this full episode to hear about what you can do RIGHT NOW to\\xa0stop the cycle and start feeling AMAZING!
