It is not too late to give up on your weight loss and health goals! 
In today's episode, Aimee discusses the concept of resurrecting goals that may have been abandoned between January and now. She emphasizes the importance of mindset and overcoming perfectionism to make progress. Aimee shares a client's struggle to lower blood sugar and lose weight to illustrate the process of revisiting goals, assessing what went wrong, and implementing new strategies. She provides practical tips for preventing future derailment and encourages listeners to embrace imperfect progress.

Key topics discussed in this episode include the value of tenacity and acceptance, the role of mindset in goal achievement, the importance of reconnecting with priorities and values, finding the next best thing when the ideal cannot be maintained, establishing a bare minimum, and making the process easier. Aimee highlights the significance of focusing on the positive and celebrating small wins along the way.

Key Takeaways:

  • Mindset is crucial for long-term goal achievement. Overcoming perfectionism and embracing imperfect progress is key to making consistent progress.
  • Reconnecting with priorities and values helps to stay motivated and committed to goals. Understanding why a goal is important and aligning it with personal values provides a strong foundation.
  • When the ideal cannot be maintained, finding the next best thing is essential. It's important to have a backup plan and make adjustments to prevent complete derailment.
  • Establishing a bare minimum ensures that even during challenging times, some progress is made. It's about finding what is good enough to prevent a complete backslide.
  • Making the process easier by finding creative ways to simplify tasks and focusing on the positive by celebrating small wins can increase motivation and consistency.

Notable Quotes:

  • "Refusing to give up may not mean we achieve everything we set out to do, but that the progress we do make is still worthwhile in and of itself."
  • "Sometimes having one person in your court to support you, encourage you, and strategize with you through challenges is all that it takes to prevent goal abandonment."
  • "Focus on the small, as well as the large wins."
