Why People Struggle to Lose Weight (and What to Do About It)

1. They Don’t Practice Flexibility
You don’t need a “perfect” plan. You need a plan you actually enjoy.

Most people try to force themselves into rigid routines that feel like punishment—eating foods they hate or forcing workouts they dread. That never lasts. You don’t need to go keto if you love carbs. You don’t have to run if you hate running (I sure don’t). You can lose weight your way—if you build in flexibility and stop trying to be perfect.

Think about it like this: the more you enjoy your routine, the more consistent you’ll be. And that’s what creates results.

2. They Rely Too Much on External Motivation

“I just need to get motivated again…”

Sound familiar? Motivation is fleeting. It comes and goes. But your why? That’s what grounds you when motivation dips.

Start with this: Why do you really want to lose the weight? Then go deeper. Ask yourself “why?” five times until you hit the emotional core. That’s the real reason—and when you’re clear on that, it’s way easier to stay committed when life gets busy or hard.

Example:

• want to lose weight.
• Why? Because I want to feel better.
• Why? Because I’m tired all the time.
• Why? Because I don’t feel confident in my body.
• Why? Because I want to be the mom who plays with her kids and sets a healthy example.
• Why? Because they deserve the best version of me—and so do I.

That hits differently, right?
