53 - Make it Right, Don't Make it Worse

It's so tempting to let a problem slide, be it an issue at work, a relationship that isn't working or our food habits. The thought of tackling things head on can be so overwhelming that you might want to shy away from action. Sadly, that's unlikely to improve the situation. But don't despair. Any situation can be made right. The decision is in your hands. Do you let things deteriorate? Or do you take every effort to make things right?

52 - You Can't Outrun a Bad Diet

Short episode alert! It’s pretty straightforward. High calorie food is simply too high calorie to fit into a balanced diet in anything other than a small quantity. Sometimes we want to have our cake and eat it too, and endeavour to burn off thousands of extra calories so we can binge on junk. A healthy diet will treat your body so much better. When your diet is whole and natural, there’s nothing to outrun. wordstolosebypod@gmail.com @wordstoloseby Music Tama – Springtime Secret Ades Lofi - Ohmaigah LAKEY INSPIRED - Blue Boi Langston - Pure Gold

51 - The Impossible is Conquered by the Obstinate Repetition of the Possible

You might be convinced it’s impossible to lose weight. You feel like you’ve tried everything, but nothing changes. Having spent 10 years at double the healthy weight of someone my height, I understand why you might feel that way. I felt so stuck in the cycle of overeating and weight gain. Any effort to fight against it seemed futile. Thinking about doing all the work at once can be so daunting you’re reluctant to even try. But chopping it up into smaller challenges makes it far more achievable. Don’t make one all-encompassing effort, make a bunch of little ones. There are small, possible steps that you can take today that will eventually lead to the impossible. wordstolosebypod@gmail.com @wordstoloseby Music Tama – Springtime Secret Moochi – Amnesia Lukrembo – Castle @vladgluschenkomusic – Peace Tomppabeats – Far Away Camel Club – Second Chances Chillpeach - Baguette

I can see why people think this, particularly if they themselves have never been overweight. As someone who’s been through it I understand how we can wind up with weight problems against our will. That’s not that part that we choose. Changing is. You can choose to change your life in an instant. Believe you’re capable and make your choice. Enough good choices lead to enormous changes, and your entire life could transform before your eyes. wordstolosebypod@gmail.com @wordstoloseby Music Pop Culture – Kingdom of One Late Night – Midnight Thoughts Vibes – My Heart is True Hicks & Langston – The Melody of You Pop Culture & Moonboy – Capybara Jujutsu Kaisen – Purple Hollow Unfeel – Giving Hope Unfeel – All Out Unfeel – Fashion Popoi – Dorila y Mello

50 - Don't Wish for it, Work for it

It would be lovely if there were magical solutions to our problems. Sadly, that’s beyond the realm of possibility. What is possible though, is starting the work. It might not feel like that’s the case, but I assure you it is. You have to believe you’re capable. That’s going to catapult your progress. If all you ever do is wish to be at the finish line, just know that in reality you’ll never get there if you don’t start moving. Every step gets you closer, and a little more of the work will be complete. Before long, your wishes can come true. But only if you work for it. wordstolosebypod@gmail.com @wordstoloseby Music Tama – Springtime Secret Massobeats – Lavender Moon Ghetto & Pevanni – Backseat Blues Lakey Inspired – The Process Massobeats - Cloudy Pop Culture – Kingdom of One Dust Diggers – Get Close Flwrz - Reunited
