In this episode of The Your Level Fitness Podcast, I’m sharing why you and I were never meant to win the weight loss game the way it’s been sold to us. Just like the house always wins at the casino, the weight loss industry sets us up to keep playing and spending without ever truly feeling satisfied.

We’ve been taught that if we lose the weight, we’ll finally feel the way we’ve always wanted to feel. But even when we hit our goal weight, many of us still look in the mirror and find new things to criticize. The idea that “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels” or that weight loss will fix how we feel about ourselves is one of the biggest illusions out there.

I talk about how maintenance is this dream we keep chasing, thinking life will finally calm down once we get there, but for most people, it never comes because we’re stuck following the industry’s rules instead of building a foundation based on our own preferences. The real path forward is connecting with yourself and deciding that your body is worthy and good at every stage, whether it changes or not.

I share how to build your own eating and exercise plan, one that’s actually yours, not just some “optimal” method someone else created. When you base your active lifestyle around things you genuinely enjoy, you’re playing your own game instead of chasing someone else’s finish line. There’s no room for guilt here. Nothing is off limits, and you don’t have to convince yourself to enjoy any of it.

This episode is a reminder that weight loss, body composition changes, and any external achievements are all byproducts of a life you actually love living. My goal is for you to feel comfortable in your own skin at every stage, past, present, and future.

If you’re ready to explore how to build this foundation for yourself, check out all the links above. Whether you’re doing this on your own with the self-paced resources or you’d like some extra guidance, I’m here to help you create a forever active lifestyle that truly fits you.
