Weight Loss Doesn't Have to Suck

109: We Can Stop Making Weight Loss Feel So Hard

Kimberly Severson Season 1 Episode 109

Today I'm sharing a powerful insight from my yoga instructor that hit me like a ton of bricks while I was shaking through an impossibly difficult pose. His simple observation about how we can sometimes create our own difficulty completely shifted my perspective, and I immediately saw how this applies to weight loss.

What you'll learn:

  • The important difference between what's actually happening versus our (often unhelpful) stories about it
  • Why your thoughts about urges and cravings matter more than the urges themselves
  • How I've applied this concept in everything from traffic jams to school events
  • When to shift your thinking versus when to just take care of yourself first
  • Why "I can't stop once I start eating" is a lie you're telling yourself
  • Practical ways to interrupt patterns and make weight loss so much easier

I'll show you how to take back control with your thinking instead of feeling controlled by your circumstances. This isn't about toxic positivity—it's about recognizing when you're making things unnecessarily hard on yourself, and coming back to "this feels totally doable".

This episode offers a refreshing perspective that can make your weight loss journey feel lighter, more peaceful, and just plain easier. And isn't that exactly what we all want?
