Have you ever caught yourself saying, "I'd rather be happy and fat" as you reached for food you knew wasn't aligned with your goals? In this episode, we're unpacking the mindset shifts that are absolutely essential for lasting weight loss because your thoughts literally create your reality.

In This Episode, You'll Discover:

• Why the phrase "I'd rather be happy and fat" is actually a permission slip, not a choice
• How your thoughts create emotions, which drive your actions (and results)
• The most common mindset blocks keeping Kingdom women stuck in yo-yo dieting cycles
• Why all-or-nothing thinking sabotages your progress
• How identity attachment ("I've always been a big girl") keeps you from your transformation
• The real reason you need a long-term identity shift, not just another meal plan
• How to move from "I'm trying to lose weight" to "I'm someone who takes care of myself"
• Real client testimonies of women who lost 75+ pounds by addressing both practical and mental/emotional roadblocks

  Key Takeaways:

  • Your thoughts → emotions → actions = your results
  • Sustainable weight loss requires becoming a different version of yourself
  • You don't have to choose between happiness and health—that's a false choice
  • Food doesn't have to have power over you

Episode Overview: In this powerful episode, we tackle one of the most intimidating moments in any weight loss journey finally stepping onto the scale. Learn how to transform this fear-inducing moment into an empowering catalyst for lasting change.

Key Topics Covered:

There's No Right or Wrong Time

• Stop waiting for the "perfect moment" to weigh yourself
• The best time is when you're ready to take action, not when conditions are ideal
• Waiting often means staying stuck courage comes from acting despite fear

Confronting Fear

• Acknowledging the anxiety and dread that surrounds the scale
• Understanding that fear loses power when we face it directly
• The scale can only tell you where you are, not where you'll end up

Facing the Hard Truth

• Why avoiding the number keeps you in denial
• The liberation that comes from honest self-assessment
• How the truth, even when uncomfortable, sets the foundation for real change

Delaying Instant Gratification for Long-Term Success

• The discomfort of stepping on the scale is temporary
• Avoiding it provides short-term relief but long-term stagnation
• Choosing to face hard moments now creates the future you want

Using That Number to Empower You

• Reframing the scale reading as your starting line, not your sentence
• How knowing your weight gives you concrete data to measure progress against
• Making a commitment: use this number to fuel your determination to never see it again
• Transforming shame into motivation and clarity into action
