Have you ever felt so motivated to eat healthy? Your meals are planned, the groceries are bought, your mindset feels strong… and then a few days later, it all quietly falls apart.

If motivation were the key to healthy eating, you wouldn’t find yourself restarting every Monday.

So today, we’re talking about why motivation isn’t enough to carry you through real life—and more importantly, what actually works when motivation fades, stress shows up, and your routine gets disrupted.

Because healthy eating that lasts isn’t built on hype or perfect weeks. It’s built on skills you can use even on the hard days.

If you’re tired of relying on bursts of motivation and you’re ready for something more sustainable, this episode is absolutely for you.

I’d also love to invite you to my upcoming workshop, Beyond Willpower, where we’re going to dive deeper into the skills you truly need to lose weight and reach your goals—because willpower isn’t a skill, and it was never meant to be your strategy.

You can join us by heading into our Facebook group, Lose Weight Live Free, and dropping your email there. Or you can contact me directly at taraJ@dietditching.com so I can get you on the list and send you all the workshop details.

Let’s stop starting over—and start building something that actually lasts.
