In this episode, I share the thoughts that occupied my mind on my 30-hour drive across the country. I think this episode is best summarized as a collection of different tangents that eventually connect and mesh nicely together.

I spend time talking about how weight maintenance is like learning a foreign language and remaining fluent, the importance of investing in yourself and personal development, and much more!

The Conflict Model of Eating postulates that eating enjoyment is the major determinant of diet failure. Under this model, a conflict exists between the goal of eating for enjoyment and the goal of weight control.

And it turns out that some people derive a greater amount of enjoyment from food than others, which makes weight loss and maintenance more challenging. Join me as I discuss the third of four theories on why weight maintenance is so hard and learn what you can do to overcome this specific challenge if you can relate!

At an early age, Kristen was diagnosed with PCOS.

Fast-forward five years later and the scale was 100 pounds higher.

The next 10 years of Kristen’s life was consumed by diet after diet as she so desperately sought to find the magic fix to her weight gain challenge. And while some of the methods she used work, her success was only short-lived, as she frequently experienced rapid weight regain shortly after each diet.

I’ve had the privilege of working with Kristen the past two years and in this time she has lost more than 30 pounds…and kept it off.

Literally every single pound. Kept off.

In today’s episode of the Screw The Scale Podcast, you’ll get to hear Kristen’s story from her point of view and learn…

• Her biggest weight loss and weight maintenance challenges
• The keystone habits that have been integral to her maintenance success
• The 3 pieces of advice she has for any woman seeking long-term weight maintenance
• How to navigate PCOS and weight loss
• Why making herself a priority has been integral to her success

Enjoy!

Having a strong structure in place has allowed me to accomplish so much more in a short window compared to having too loose of a framework in place. It's enabled me to achieve ridiculously low levels of body fat, to squat over 400 pounds for reps, and to kick ass maintaining my weight while enjoying life.

If you've ever intended to eat just one bite, but ended up eating an entire, box, bag, or pint, well, this theory explains just that! And I will share with you how and why it's sabotaging your weight-maintenance efforts!
