Willpower is not the secret sauce for success

Hey there! Today, I want to talk with you about a fight I recently had with my husband...

My son actually calls this a talk... the truth is we don't fight very often. Still, my husband always leaves a bag of tortilla chips on the counter, which means they are visible and accessible and less me to grab a handful of chips I walk by... and before I even notice it, I may or may not have eaten the whole bag myself! 

If this resonates with you, and you have been instructed that all you need to avoid this situation is willpower, then this podcast episode is for you! 

How to reframe willpower and switch strategies 

When my husband got upset with me because I ate all the bag of chips, and I told them that that's exactly why he should not put them on the counter but in the cupboard, he said, with an intent to work on it, that my willpower was very low.

But that is not how willpower works. Willpower is a limited resource, and often, we think, "If I just work harder and push through my willpower," things will work out for the best... but willpower is not the answer. 

To understand some light on why willpower is not the answer to achieving your weight loss goals, I prepared this podcast episode, and in it, you will find:

1. How a talk with my husband inspired me to demystify willpower and its role in your weight loss goals. 

2. Four strategies you can focus on to get closer to your goals instead of counting on willpower.

3. The best ways to design your environment for success!
