So many women come to me frustrated because they are tracking every calorie, every macro, every point — and still not losing weight. I get it, because I’ve been there too. I did Weight Watchers, MyFitnessPal, even Richard Simmons’ Deal-A-Meal cards, and every single time I ended up tired, hungry, and feeling like a failure when it didn’t work long term.

In this episode, I’m sharing why calorie counting does not work and why it may actually be the reason you aren’t getting results. We’ll talk about:

• Why calorie counting is exhausting, unsustainable, and leaves you hungry
• Why not all calories are equal and why women’s bodies respond differently
• How tracking disconnects you from your hunger and fullness cues
• Why restriction and trying to use willpower almost always backfire
• What to do instead so you can fuel your body, feel energized on your rides, and build habits that actually last

If you have ever wondered why eating in a calorie deficit hasn’t worked for you, this episode will help you see that YOU are not the problem. It’s time to stop obsessing over numbers and start learning how to eat in a way that feels good, fuels your biking, and fits into your real life.

Do you ever catch yourself scrolling social media, staring at a photo, or looking in the mirror and feeling bad? You’re not alone. In this episode we are talking about the sneaky trap of comparison, why it shows up everywhere (from group rides to photos to Strava leaderboards), why it makes you miserable, and most importantly, how to break free from it.

We discuss:

• Why comparison never motivates you, it just keeps you stuck
• How we grew up measuring ourselves against others
• The real cost of comparing your body or your progress
• Simple mindset shifts to focus on what your body can DO
• Practical tips to stop obsessing over mirrors, photos, and social media

If you’ve ever felt like you’re not fast enough, not skinny enough, or not doing “enough,” this episode will help you finally shift your focus to progress, strength, and the joy of biking without the pressure of measuring up to anyone else.
