Episode Description from the Publisher

If you’re skipping breakfast, doing cardio all the time, and still not seeing results… this episode is for you. Because some of the biggest things keeping moms stuck are the SAME mistakes I made in my 20s. And yes… I made them while I was literally a college athlete and studying to become a dietitian. 😂 In this episode, I’m breaking down six weight loss mistakes I made years ago that I still see moms making all the time. We talk about: ✨ The breakfast you’re eating that may be backfiring later in the day ✨ The alcohol habit that can make weight loss harder ✨ The workout moms need to be adding in & the one they can let go off ✨ Guilt and shame when over-eating or bingeing and how to shift those thoughts ✨ The nutrient deficiencies that may be making things harder ✨ Why consistency with supplements matters This is not about feeling bad for what you’re doing wrong. It is about noticing what might be getting in your way. Because once you see it, you can change it. And please do not try to fix all six things tomorrow. 😅 Pick one. Get that one feeling easier and more consistent. Then move on to the next. That is how you build habits that actually last. 🍽️ Stop Guessing What To Eat If skipping meals or grabbing random food because you are too busy is one of the things keeping you stuck, Busy Mom Meals can help.
