Day 2 of the Drop Five Pounds While Life Is Life-ing Challenge is all about the WHY.

Yesterday, we built your plan — the one that balances your hunger hormones and actually works in real life. Today, we’re going deeper. Because if you don’t know *why* you want to lose weight, heal your relationship with food, or feel better in your body… life will absolutely knock you off track.

In this episode, I walk you through how to uncover your true, compelling reasons — not the surface-level ones, but the *why behind the why*. The kind of motivation you can actually feel in your body. The kind that gives you a fighting chance when the cupcake shows up at 2:30 PM or the food chatter tries to hijack your brain.

You’ll learn why weight loss is a *remembering practice*, how daily journaling keeps you connected to what matters most, and why attaching emotion to your goals is the secret sauce for sustainability. We also talk about the scale — how to use it as neutral data instead of a weapon, and how to stop outsourcing your self-worth to a tiny metal box on your bathroom floor.

This episode is your permission slip to get honest, get intentional, and reconnect with what you actually want — for your body, your energy, and your life.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

- Why your “why” has to be compelling (and how to find the why behind the why)

- How journaling daily keeps you anchored when life gets busy

- Why attaching a feeling to your goals changes everything

- How to stop letting the scale dictate your mood or worth

- Why progress is never linear — and how to think like a data head instead of a drama queen

- How to set one big intention for the year and one tiny goal for this week

Your homework for today:

Write down 10–20 compelling reasons you want to lose weight or heal your relationship with food — and for each one, write how it will *feel* in your body. Then, each day, pick one reason and reconnect with it in your journal.
