68: Ditch the Diet: 5 Secrets for Sustainable Weight Loss

If you’re ready to finally ditch the diets, for sustainable weight loss (with an approach that gives better results!), listen up!

When I tell women I lost 65 pounds in my late 40s, their first question is always “How?” And while I could list the diet swaps and workouts, that’s not the full story, is it? We both know that when life hits the fan—solo parenting for six weeks, caring for a sick parent, recovering from surgery—the “basics” are the first thing to go. If weight loss were just a simple nutrition plan, you’d have already reached your goal!

The truth is, my lasting success came from going far beyond the basics. It wasn’t just about the food and movement.

It was about the profound identity shift and the tools I developed to stay on track when things got hard. It’s what allowed me to stick with my health journey through a hysterectomy, breast cancer, and all the day-to-day chaos that comes with midlife motherhood.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain to share the five most impactful things I did to not only lose 65 pounds, but to keep it off for good. These are the non-negotiable strategies that will help you pull through when life inevitably goes off the rails.

In This Episode:

✅ The ONLY Thing You Need for Long-Term Success: It isn’t your meal plan, but learning to be brutally consistent (and hear how I finally taught myself to do it).

✅ The Sneaky Thing Sabatoging Your Efforts: The “bites, licks, and tastes” (BLTs) you’re conveniently forgetting to track, and how this simple act of self-honesty can change your results.

✅ Why Your Feelings Are Derailing Your Weight Loss: You MUST recognize your feelings—like resentment or frustration—because they directly drive your results. I’ll explain how this works and how I used a simple framework to stop that cycle.

✅ Stop Looking for the “Quick Fix”: Why those fat burners, peptides, or latest fad diets are actually keeping you stuck, and why consistency over time is the only sustainable path.

Let’s ditch the frustration and embrace a new way of approaching your health. I promise, weight loss is possible for you in midlife, but you’re going to have to make a few mindset shifts!
