Doubt is one of the biggest obstacles standing between you and your weight loss goals. In this episode, Maggie and Ryan explore why we get trapped in patterns of self-doubt that keep us from taking meaningful action. They discuss how our brains are wired to resist change and why most people quit during what they call "the messy middle." If you've ever felt like weight loss might work for others but not for you, this episode tackles that mindset head-on.
