We can be surprisingly unreliable evaluators of our own progress.

We remember the weight we used to be, compare ourselves to where we thought we’d be by now, and factor in every other time we’ve tried. Before long, we’re evaluating (A.K.A judging) ourselves along with the result.

Sometimes another set of experienced eyes helps you separate what happened from everything you’re making it mean.

That’s one of the conversations inside Episode 173, Stop Asking “Is This Working?” Full episode is linked in the comments.

Green onions are such an easy way to add some extra nutrition to meals. Beyond the vitamin K, vitamin C and antioxidants I mentioned in the reel, they also contain plant compounds like quercetin and provide some fibre.

And with fall around the corner, vitamin C is especially timely since it supports healthy immune function.

I also love that this is one of those healthy habits that saves money and reduces food waste at the same time. 😊

Have you ever planted yours in soil, or have you always kept them in water?

It’s interesting what we’ll tolerate from ourselves that we’d find completely unacceptable coming from someone else.

And when those comments have been running through your mind for years, you may barely notice them anymore. You just notice that thinking about losing weight feels heavy and you keep putting it off.

This is one reason I pay so much attention to the thoughts underneath our actions when I coach women. You can change what you’re eating and still carry around a running commentary about everything you think you’re doing wrong.

In Episode 172 of the Feel Light Mind & Body Podcast, we’re looking at what may actually be contributing to the mental burnout around losing weight and what can help you use more of that energy towards taking care of yourself.

Skipping the evening snack tip. 😁
This is one reason why I rarely eat past 6 pm (prefer 5 pm when I’m alone, like tonight). I simply don’t need to or want to… mainly for these reasons.

1. It’s delicious and nutritious! My favourite combo. 😋

2. I’ve eaten well all day.

3. The high fiber and protein, moderate fat and complex carbs, leave me satiated. The only urges would likely come from an associated habit, like movie & popcorn, and I know how to allow them to just be there without giving in, feeling restricted, or having to white-knuckle it. 😅

4. I still get a prompt for dessert (grew up with sweets always being on the table) but I’m lacing up for a walk instead. 🌳

🌟 The bonus tip is… last evening a childhood bestie and I picked up salad bowls to enjoy at home. I ordered a regular instead of a small size bowl and ate half last night over greens.

Tonight, I simply topped the fresh field greens, extra veggies, chickpeas, and chicken breast with the flavour of hummus and tzatziki leftovers. A 2-3 minute prep for a Friday night win!

Do you love maximizing leftovers as well?

I don’t want to spend the next chapter of my life watching from the sidelines because I no longer have the strength or energy for things I still want to do. There are places I want to go, people I want to enjoy and experiences I don’t even know about yet.

That’s part of what motivates me to take care of my body now.

If losing weight is important to you, I’m all for that goal. I also want you to keep looking further ahead.

What else are you making possible by taking care of your health today?

There’s a lot of life beyond the weight loss goal.

This is part of the conversation I’m having in Episode 172 of the Feel Light Mind & Body Podcast, “Are You Tired of Thinking About Weight Loss?”

If you’re tired of starting, stopping and spending so much mental energy thinking about your weight and health, watch or listen to the full episode. Link in the comments. 🎧

Four months left in 2026.

That feels like a good reason to be intentional about how I spend them.

I’m thinking about my health, the people I love, the work that matters to me, experiences I still want to have, and making sure I’m not so focused on what’s next that I miss what’s good right now.

That’s a philosophy I want to keep living, not just something I think about at the beginning of a new month.

We can do a lot in four months. We can also enjoy a lot of life in four months.

What do you want to make more room for between now and the end of the year?

Will the plan still work for me when real life shows up?

Dinner with friends. A vacation. A wedding. Your favourite dessert. A spontaneous invitation you actually want to say yes to.

If every one of those occasions feels like a problem to solve or a reason to take a break from your plan, it’s going to require a lot of mental energy to keep doing it.

Getting healthier should help you enjoy your life for years to come. Your approach needs to account for the fact that you actually have one. 😉

I go deeper into this in Episode 172 of the Feel Light Mind & Body Podcast.

Our brains love to be right. But being right often keeps us stuck.

When you keep proving to yourself that you can’t achieve your goal, circumstances are controlling your outcome, or you don’t have the capacity or capability, resistance builds up and so does despondency.

If this sounds like you…

You're someone who’s struggling right now to understand why you can’t live your life at your healthiest weight, in a way that is sustainable.

You’re frustrated and just want to know how to really do it right, or believe you can do it - that it’s possible for you.

Then your first empowered step is to book a complimentary 20-minute consult with me.
Give yourself 20 minutes to find out what may be keeping you stuck and what could be possible for you. Click the link in the comments for more details.

There’s a difference between learning what your body needs now and assuming your best health is behind you.

That distinction is important, especially when changes in weight, sleep, muscle and energy have left you wondering what you can realistically expect from your body at this stage of life.

In Episode 171, “Create Your Comeback Story! Weight Loss, Energy, Self-Belief, Strength, and More.” we’re having a realistic conversation about creating your healthiest next chapter with the body you have today.
