Ever wish you could go back and start your weight loss journey over—but with all the wisdom you have now?

That’s exactly what I’m sharing in this episode. After losing 65 pounds (and keeping it off through two pregnancies, postpartum, and all the real-life stuff in between), there are 5 big things I’d do differently to make the journey easier, less stressful, and so much more sustainable.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down:

🥗 Why healing your relationship with food should come before calorie deficits

🏃🏻‍♀️ How I’d approach exercise without the all-or-nothing mindset

⚖️ The truth about the scale and how it used to control my emotions (and how I broke free)

🍽️ How to simplify meals without stressing over rigid meal plans

🧠 The mindset shift that changed everything for me (and why becoming “her” matters more than doing more)

PLUS a little bonus tip that helped me ditch perfectionism and stay consistent for good!

Whether you're stuck in the restrict-binge cycle, obsessed with your meal plan, or constantly second-guessing your progress on the scale—this episode is your permission slip to do it differently. These are the things I wish someone told me when I first started.

Feeling ready to make a change that lasts? Dive in, and let’s make weight loss that much more sustainable and fun together!

Jackie
