55: 3 Steps to Finally Stop Quitting on Your Weight Loss Journey


Listen Later

Why do you keep starting strong on a diet—only to lose steam a few weeks later? It’s not because you’re weak. It’s not because you lack discipline. It’s because your brain is wired with three psychological needs that most diets ignore. In this episode, I break down Self-Determination Theory—a science-backed framework that explains why motivation fizzles and, more importantly, how to make it last.

You’ll learn:

  • The 3 hidden needs your brain craves to stay consistent (autonomy, competence, and relatedness)
  • Why rigid diets strip away your motivation and set you up to quit
  • Simple, actionable steps you can take this week to make habits stick
  • How to stop relying on willpower and start building an environment where motivation shows up naturally

By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly how to stop quitting on your weight loss journey and finally create habits that last.
