#219- The Urge to Get Extreme

Have you ever noticed that the moment you decide to lose weight, your brain wants to go all in?

No sugar.

No carbs.

Two workouts a day.

"I'll be perfect this time."

It feels productive...but what if that urge is actually keeping you stuck?

In this episode, we're talking about why extreme plans often come from guilt, fear, or the desire to "make up for" yesterday—and why they usually lead to burnout instead of lasting change.

I'll also share a personal story about why I choose not to work out on Sundays, even though I often feel the urge to after eating out with family. That one decision has taught me a powerful lesson about trusting the process instead of reacting to uncomfortable emotions.

You'll learn:

• Why your brain craves extreme plans after you've gone off track

• The common thoughts that make extreme decisions feel like wisdom

• The difference between "have-to energy" and "creative energy"
