A weekly dissection of a different popular weight loss mantra to help us learn and grow in our journey towards self-improvement. Host Amy Grisdale lost more than half her bodyweight in 2021 and has maintained it ever since. All she wants now is to help other people enrich their lives by loving themselves more and develop a better relationship with their body.
55 - Don't Give up What You Want Most for What You Want Now
Perspective is so important. When we’re hungry, craving something or at our emotional tether, we lose sight of the full picture. We’re zoomed in all the way on that moment, not thinking about the effort we’ve put in so far or how much we want to stay on track.
We have to train our brains to drag us out of that single moment, and consider what we truly want. If we truly want to lose weight, we won’t sacrifice our progress. We won’t throw away our habits. When we can see the whole picture, we can decide how this moment can affect the outcome. Think of what you want most first. That will guide you when it comes to choosing what to have now.

54 - Trust the Process
Sometimes our efforts feel like they aren’t working. Even worse, we can be so convinced that the process can’t work for us that we’re reluctant to try. The trust is vital. That’s what you need to stay on track.
If you don’t trust the process, you’re not going to stick to it. Believe me, if you’re in a calorie deficit you will lose weight. It’s all but guaranteed. Stay consistent and it will only be a matter of time until you achieve your goal.
Here’s the graph demonstrating the ‘whoosh effect’ I promised to show you all

Bonus Minisode - Be Wonderful
I have long aspired to be wonderful in every sense of the word. Striving to get there was part of the challenge, but the hardest bit was changing how I saw myself.
When I was obese I was full of judgement and self-hatred. I didn’t feel much better about myself when I lost weight, aside from being proud of my newfound willpower.
Everything fell into place when I decided to believe I was wonderful. So much so, that I celebrate it as an annual event. I invite you to join in with me to celebrate self-love, eliminate negativity and care for ourselves in the way we really need. What could be more wonderful than that?
