#312 Not Reaching Your Weight Goals?

Oh, the scale. How we all have a love/hate relationship with you.

Looking and feeling good in your body is a goal we should all strive to achieve, especially since it boosts your self-esteem, and helps give you confidence for taking on the day.

The purpose of this podcast is to discuss 5 reasons, that we typically see, as to why you're not reaching the ideal weight/body type that YOU want.

What we covered:

  • Why it's challenging to do things consistently that you hate doing. Muhammad Ali famously said, "I hated every minute of training, but I said: don't quit, suffer now and live the rest of your life like a champion." We all know that exercise and eating is part of getting the body you want, but hating it will make it hard to do.
  • You haven't been doing it long enough. It would be fantastic if the timeline you had in your head for achieving a goal were the correct timeline; unfortunately, it always takes longer than you think.
  • Aristotle, the philosopher not Dr. Kreso's son, famously said, "success is a habit, not an act." Consistency is critical - the shiny penny is fun to chase, but hardly ever leads you to where you want to be.
  • There is a lot of 'conventional wisdom' about weight loss and exercise that's not based on physiology, so creating a plan based around how your physiology works is critical to your success.
