After 3 weeks of challenging conventional weight loss wisdom, it's time to get real about the painful lessons learned along the way. These 5 hard-earned insights could save you years of struggle and frustration on your own journey.
What You'll Learn:
• Why understanding your patterns intellectually isn't enough to change them
• How loved ones will unknowingly sabotage your progress (and what to do about it)
• The truth about non-linear progress and why setbacks aren't failures

• Where real transformation actually happens (hint: it's not the dramatic moments)
