Ever wish you could go back to day one of your weight loss journey and just yell some sense into yourself? SAME.

In today’s episode, I’m spilling the tea on the 5 things I wish I knew before I lost 65 pounds (and kept it off for FIFTEEN years) — plus 5 pieces of diet culture “advice” I’d tell you to run far, far away from!

If you’ve ever felt like tracking every bite, eating 1200 calories, or doing an hour of cardio every day is the way to “success” (spoiler: IT’S NOT), this episode is your permission slip to do things differently. We’re totally breaking down why coming back after a setback matters more than perfection, why you need to do what works for YOUR body (not what TikTok says), and how to build a sustainable routine that doesn’t make you want to scream into a salad.

Let’s make 2026 the year you finally don’t have to “start over” in January, yeah? Ready to ditch the noise and actually lose weight in a way that sticks? This episode is your blueprint.

xoxo,

Jackie
