Fat loss is rarely the only goal. Most women don’t just want a smaller body. They want more energy, confidence, and a way of eating and moving that fits into real life without everything else having to stop.

In this episode, I talk about why so many well-intentioned fat loss plans fall apart, even when they look sensible on paper. We explore the stacking effect of doing more on top of an already full life, decision fatigue, and why rigid rules often create all-or-nothing thinking rather than long-term progress.

I explain what flexibility actually looks like in practice. Not “anything goes”, but a smarter kind of structure that allows you to adapt without giving up. We cover calorie ranges versus single targets, tracking as a tool rather than a rule, why consistency is about patterns over time, and how flexibility protects progress instead of derailing it.

If you’re tired of starting again, this episode will help you understand why the problem isn’t effort or discipline, but an approach that doesn’t match your life.
