Why Week 3 of Your Diet Always Wrecks You [podcast]

You feel like you know what to do. You're just not doing it consistenty.

You start SO STRONG. You're on fire. And then suddenly you hit a wall and you're like wtf where is my momentum and motivation? 

This episode explains why... and it's not about willpower.

• Every change follows a certain pattern and I spent this episode explaining it (it'll make you be like OHHH that's what I've been doing)

• The excitement you feel when you start a new plan is often just a dopamine hit about the destination - without any preparation for the hard middle part

• The fix isn't fearlessness (you can't escape the fear of the unknown) but there is something that can give you relief

• TLDR: the dip in morale that happens in the middle of this pattern is why you keep giving up (yes all-or-nothing gals, I'm looking at you)

• I get vulnerable, too, about my own trips through the valley — and what it actually took to get out

• I borrow an analogy from the 12 Week Year (affiliate link) and his illustration of the Valley of Despair

If this hit home, I would love to hear from you — send me a DM, let me know this episode resonated, and let's talk about if working together feels like the right next step so you can stop repeating this pattern
