Overcoming the Fear of Failure: Why Would This Time be Different? Ep. 59

IN THIS EPISODE, Robyn shares addressing the fear of failure after past weight loss attempts and how to shift your mindset to make this journey feel different and more empowering.

• Past Failures Don’t Define Future Success
• Shifting from Perfection to Progress

This new approach isn’t just about losing weight—it’s about gaining confidence, energy, and the freedom to live life fully, without the weight of past frustrations holding you back. You're creating a new normal that aligns with who you are and where you want to go. 

Each new day is an opportunity to make choices that reinforce our trust in ourselves. Remember, always start again at your next meal - not Monday, not next week, next month or even next year. Start again at your next meal!

Most weight loss programs fail women over 50 because they focus on short-term fixes like restrictive diets and/or intense workouts, which don’t take into account the changes your body goes through with age. We cannot do the things we used to do in our 20’s, 30’s and 40’s. These programs often ignore critical factors like slower metabolism, hormonal shifts, and the emotional dependency on sugar for comfort or energy. Without addressing these underlying issues, it’s no wonder many programs lead to frustration, quick weight regain, and even more exhaustion. You need a plan that works with your body, not against it.
