Today we're diving into a transformative conversation with fellow health and weight loss coach, Esther Avant. We explore the pervasive "all or nothing" mentality that often plagues our health journeys. Do you ever feel like you're either fully committed or not trying at all? You're not alone. Esther and I discuss how this mindset can hinder long-term success and offer strategies to break free from it.In this episode, we go beyond the typical advice of starting small (although that's there too!). We introduce concepts like "compassionate ownership" and "the very next bite," emphasizing the importance of self-love and understanding in your weight loss journey. We discuss the importance of setting realistic goals, recognizing the value of incremental progress, and the crucial practice of treating yourself with kindness through the process. Whether you're on the road to losing weight or simply looking to build healthier habits, this conversation is packed with insights to help you approach your journey with a balanced, sustainable mindset. Join us as we delve into the keys to overcoming the all-or-nothing trap and embracing a healthier, more compassionate way to achieve your goals.More from Well with Lisa:Your Go-To Meal Guide: grab it HERESchedule your free strategy/coaching session: wellwithlisa.as.meWant YOUR weight loss question answered on the podcast?  Fill out this google form HERELet's be friends!
