🧠 Mindset Shift for Progress: Comparison & Comfort Zones

--------------------------------------------------- This week, let’s talk about two powerful forces that can either hold us back or propel us forward on our weight loss (and life) journey: comparison and comfort zones.

🚫 Ditch Comparison, Embrace Inspiration It’s easy to fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to others—but this mindset often leads to frustration, not progress.

Instead, try this shift: let others inspire you, not define you. The only truly helpful comparison? You vs. You.

Ask yourself: Am I doing better than yesterday? That’s growth. Use awareness, not judgment. Every person’s journey can offer a lesson—not a reason to feel less than.

And don’t forget to celebrate your wins, no matter how small.

Yes, breaking free from comparison mode takes time. There may be hidden barriers, like unrealistic expectations or unkind self-talk.

So here’s a powerful question to reflect on: "Could I like me now?"

🌀 Reframe Your Comfort Zone

Growth doesn’t happen in the familiar. Real change only begins when we venture beyond what’s comfortable. But instead of “leaving” your comfort zone, think of it as expanding it—bit by bit.

Each time you stretch yourself, you widen your zone of confidence, ease, and capability.

Takeaway: Your journey is uniquely yours. Use your past self as a benchmark, view others as guides, and expand your comfort zone one bold step at a time.

💬 Your Action Step This Week:

Ask yourself:

1. Who inspired me this week (without making me feel less)?

2. What is one small step I can take to stretch my comfort zone?

Then take that step—you don’t have to leap, just move. You've got this. Until next time, keep going—one powerful mindset shift at a time.

Yo-yo dieting reveals a terrible reality: most Americans are alarmingly misinformed about what to eat, when to eat, and how to get healthy.

✨In this inspiring episode, Health Coach Jenn Trepeck shares tips like:

► Why you can't outrun your fork

► How Willpower is a refillable cup, you just are not refilling it
