Takeaways:

Weight maintenance is about building resilience and consistency, not perfection.

Embrace flexibility in your routine to prevent burnout and make your habits sustainable for life.

Change is uncomfortable, but it’s a necessary part of building your new, healthy identity.

Don’t be afraid to make adjustments as you go—whether it’s reducing gym time, rethinking meal prep, or allowing for occasional flexibility in your food choices.

Action Steps:

Create your own "worry list" about what feels difficult in your current routine and begin to break down why it’s causing concern.

Consider where you can find flexibility in your habits, especially when it comes to meal prep and exercise.

Journal about where you can find a middle ground between strictness and flexibility, and begin incorporating small changes.

Quote of the Episode:
"It’s not about black or white thinking—it’s about finding consistency and resiliency within a routine that works for you."

Cheers to health and happiness! Pura Vida!
