  • Episode 232: Why THAT NUMBER Keeps Us Captive
    Jun 11 2025

    THAT NUMBER… the one you obsess over… the one you’ve decided your body “should” weigh… That number is the thing that distracts you from focusing on HEALTH goals, holds you back from participating more fully and more actively in life AND keeps you half crazy in the head a lot of the time! Listen to this episode and learn if YOU are THAT PERSON who keeps some arbitrary number the thing you focus on in your weight loss journey as opposed to all of the awesome ways your health has improved and all of the things you are able to do as you lose weight!

I really needed to hear this. Keeping expectations realistic is a thing. I was a fortunate one who was able to lose 100% of my excess weight (155 lb weight loss) but the last bit of it was me, not the surgery. It is hard work.

Great episode

Fantastic topics for pre/post surgery
