How to trust yourself again

You've done more diets than you care to admit, let alone count.

You've started again on so many Mondays you can't even remember all of them.

As these failed attempts piled up, somewhere along the way you created and cemented the identity and belief as being someone who starts but never finishes.

The person who goes well...right up until the wheels fall off.

And any trust you had in yourself slowly eroded away.

In this episode we break down why this is such a massive problem, and where the best places are to start to build up that trust in yourself again...or for the first time.

Come and join us as we deep dive into...

- Why "just be consistent" is abysmal advice that misses the actual problem

- The weight loss industrial complex, and how the repeat-buyer model profits from your distrust

- Why you've stopped trusting yourself and don't even realise it (it hides as stress, worry, and self-sabotage)

- The trust bank account: small promises kept, compounding into real self-trust

- Why doing beats knowing every single time, and why vision boards and manifesting won't save you

- How we claw it back after going backwards, without destroying the trust we've already built

- The micro-promise method: one day, then a week, then you stack it

- Why doing the thing (the work!) creates the identity, and the identity sustains the doing
