Episode Highlights:

(07:08)  The weight loss journey done well is a journey of profound personal evolution because you have to learn how you think. You have to get to the root of your thinking patterns, you’ll want to pay very close attention to these sabotaging thinking patterns. They're old thoughts and they're baked into our psyche, and we have to go in and examine them, ferret them out and reprogram them.


(14:14) Everyone is going to have a very unique weight loss journey, even identical sisters. We have a set of identical sisters in our practice, they have the exact same genetics and they have very different weight loss journeys. So even having the same genetics does not mean that you're going to have the same type of weight loss journey, so please don't ever compare your journey with anyone else's journey. Everybody is different and everybody has unique factors that they're working with.

(17:51) The past does not predict the future unless you let it; your potential is always greater than your past. Doubt is normal, you don't have to listen to doubtful thoughts. Your potential is always greater than your past. With these thoughts, you will build resilience and you will stay committed to your goals.
