Busting Common Weightloss Excuses

CORINNE CRABTREE
About this episode

When you're trying to lose weight, your brain can become an excuse factory. You'll hear the same thoughts over and over, like "I don't have time" or "I'll start tomorrow."

Yeah, that's your brain lying to you. And I should know. Mine lies to me every day.

Just yesterday, my brain spent all morning making excuses about why I couldn't do my new workout. "It'll take too long." "You have too much work." Sound familiar?

In today's episode, "Busting Common Weightloss Excuses," I'm sharing how I fight my excuses -- and how you can too. You'll hear:

  • Why it's normal to have excuses (even for weightloss coaches)
  • Simple questions you can ask yourself to challenge your excuses
  • How I talk myself into healthy choices (and out of late-night candy binges)

Plus, I'm revealing the sneaky way your brain makes excuses feel good -- and how to shut that shit down.

Don't let another excuse keep you from losing weight. Listen now and get tips for how to outsmart your own brain:

Excuses aren't going away, but you can learn to fight back. And over time, they'll go from major roadblocks to minor bumps on the road to weightloss.
