EP127: Understanding & Overcoming Self-Sabotage on Your Weight Loss Journey

In this solo episode of the Weight Loss Warrior Podcast, I dive deep into the topic of self-sabotage and the ways it can hinder our progress without us even realising it. Self-sabotage shows up in different forms for everyone, but whether it’s emotional eating, procrastination, or setting unrealistic goals, it often keeps us from achieving the healthy, fulfilling lives we want.

I walk through some of the common reasons behind self-sabotage, like fear of failure, fear of success, and comfort in familiar habits. I also share practical strategies to help you build awareness around self-sabotaging behaviors and take steps toward a growth mindset, where you can appreciate progress over perfection. Finally, I discuss practical ways to break the cycle, including setting achievable goals, practicing self-compassion, and using accountability to stay on track.

Key Highlights:

• Common self-sabotage behaviors: Emotional eating, hitting the snooze button, procrastination, and perfectionism.

• Understanding your why: Exploring fear of failure, fear of success, and the comfort of familiar habits.

• Overcoming self-sabotage: Building a growth mindset, practicing self-compassion, and setting realistic goals.

• Actionable tips: Setting small, achievable milestones, rewarding yourself in positive ways, and using accountability as motivation.
