If you’ve ever struggled to believe that small habits can actually lead to weight loss, this episode is for you.

So many high-achievers are wired to believe that results only come from going all in — extreme diets, intense workouts, cutting everything out, pushing harder than everyone else. After all, that mindset probably worked for you in school, athletics, or your career.

But sustainable weight loss doesn’t reward burnout. It rewards consistency.

In today’s Weight Loss Wednesday episode, Lindsey unpacks the hidden belief systems that keep us stuck in the all-or-nothing cycle and shares practical strategies to help you show up — even when you don’t fully believe small changes will work.

If you’re tired of starting over, this conversation will help you shift from intensity to sustainability.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• Why high-achievers struggle with the “small habits” approach
• The go-big-or-go-home mindset and how it sabotages consistency
• How your past success may be blocking sustainable weight loss
• What to do when you’ve lost hope after setbacks or injury
• Why motivation follows action (not the other way around)
• How to reframe progress beyond the scale
• Simple ways to track “silent wins” and build belief
• Naming and quieting your inner critic

Key Takeaways

Small changes feel uncomfortable when your identity is built on intensity.

If you don’t believe small habits will work, you won’t show up for them consistently — and that belief system deserves attention.

Success doesn’t start with motivation. It starts with action. Belief builds after repeated proof.

Sustainable weight loss often requires stretching your timeline and expanding your definition of progress.

Practical Tools Mentioned

• Habit tracking (apps, journals, or a simple monthly calendar)
• Expanding success metrics beyond the scale (muscle gain, labs, energy, sleep, confidence)
• “Try differently” — reframing obstacles instead of repeating failed strategies
