In this week's episode, I’m diving deep into why building sustainable habits is the key to successful weight loss and long-term bariatric surgery outcomes. I’ll share my personal journey—how I lost my first 50 lbs on my own, the strategies that worked for me, and the mindset shifts that helped me stay on track.

We’ll talk about why tracking your food intake, staying accountable, and creating a supportive environment are non-negotiables for fostering healthy habits. I’ll also break down how small, incremental changes can lead to big wins over time and share how coaching can make all the difference in helping you crush your goals.

Whether you’re preparing for bariatric surgery, in the thick of your journey, or just looking for real strategies to take control of your health, this episode has something for you. Tune in and let’s get to work!
