149 ~ Weight Loss Wednesday

In this Weight Loss Wednesday, I’m answering the second round of the most common questions people are asking right now in December. These are the real-life, boots-on-the-ground questions that come up when family, food, holidays, and pressure all collide at the same time.

We’re talking about comments from family, holiday overeating, the week between Christmas and New Year’s, restraint collapse, tracking over the holidays, and how to stop telling yourself you’ll “start again in January.” This episode is practical and focused on helping you keep going, even when things feel messy.

In this episode, I talk about:

How to handle family comments about your body, your weight, or what’s on your plate
Why you don’t always need to confront people and how to decide when it’s worth it
What to do if you overeat on Christmas Day
How to mentally reset after a hard day without turning it into a hard week
Why hydration and fiber matter more than you think after holiday eating

What to do if the entire week between Christmas and New Year’s starts to slide
How to rein things back in without “starting over”
How overbuying food can quietly set you up to overeat

What restraint collapse is and why it shows up hard after the holidays
How the language of “I deserve this” can hide self-sabotage
Whether you should track calories over Christmas or take a break
Why knowing what you ate this year helps you next year

How to get back on track after the holidays
How to stop the “I’ll start again in January” mindset
How a simple mindset shift can change your entire January
This episode is about staying grounded, realistic, and intentional during one of the hardest times of the year to do that. You don’t need perfection. You don’t need to wait for January. You just need to keep going.

You can do this. Even if it’s hard. Even if it’s messy. Keep going.
