Quotes
• “I want to talk about destination, especially when it comes to losing weight. The destination goal is when you anticipate hating the entire journey. You cannot be miserable the entire time then just expect your brain to switch from miserable and hating yourself, to beating yourself up, to confident and full of gratitude like a light switch. It doesn’t work like that.” (7:30-8:30)
• “A weight loss program can work, but it has to be built on a foundation of self-acceptance, not hatred, not shame, not shit-talking.” (8:46-8:54)
• “You can’t hate yourself and talk shit to yourself all the way into smaller jeans and then just expect your brain to switch. You can’t take a negative emotion and a negative vibe and expect to create a positive result.” (10:00-10:20)
• “The only thing that will create lasting change is your mindset.” (10:45-10:50)
• “I want you to work on your journey goal, not your destination goal.” (14:18-14:22)
