Welcome to Season 4 of The Love Life and Lose Weight podcast! In this episode 89, Heather opens with a behind-the-scenes update on her “Big Move” and what it taught her about change — and then she takes you deep into a mindset shift that can be a game changer for your weight goals this Fall.  

If you’ve ever caught yourself saying things like “I’ll start again Monday,” “It’s just one bite,” or “I’ve been good all week, I deserve this,” this episode will show you why those small exceptions matter more than you think — and how to stop letting them quietly undo your progress.

You’ll learn:
✨ What “exception thinking” really is and why it feels so harmless in the moment
✨ How these tiny “permission slips” erode self-trust and stall fat-loss results
✨ The 3-step method to identify, map, and rewire your exception triggers
✨ How to adapt your routines through this Fall season so you don’t experience the ‘Fall Slide’ that so often kicks in when the weather turns chilly and the holiday season kicks in
✨ A simple recommitment practice to rebuild momentum and confidence without perfection

By the end of the episode, you’ll have a repeatable framework for spotting the patterns that keep you stuck — and practical tools to follow through even when motivation fades. 

So, grab a pen take notes as you listen now to discover how to outsmart the “just this once” voice in your head, strengthen your consistency, and keep your promises to yourself with ease and self-trust.
