Episode 158: You Have to Fix Yourself First - Break the Diet Rules #5
Mar 07, 2025
If you’ve ever felt like you have to “fix yourself” before you can lose weight… if you’ve been waiting until you’re more disciplined, less emotional, or have more time in your schedule so you can just be better in some way before you finally succeed… then this episode is for you.
In today’s episode of Your Midlife Comeback Story, we’re going to challenge the belief that weight loss is about fixing yourself. Instead, you’ll learn why the key to lasting weight loss isn’t perfection—it’s uncovering what’s been holding you back and working with your brain and body as they are right now.
If you’re ready to let go of the pressure, stop waiting for “the right time,” and finally start seeing real, lasting results, then keep listening.
Together, we will unpack:
- The real reason high-achieving women believe they have to “fix themselves” before they can lose weight.
- The hidden ways perfectionism & people-pleasing sabotage your success.
- The 10 ways high-achieving women try to ‘fix themselves’ (and why it backfires).
- How diet culture profits from making women feel like they’re broken.
- Why more discipline isn’t the answer (and what actually is).
