310. The Lies We Tell Ourselves About Losing Weight

Today on the podcast, we’re digging into something that every runner deals with but almost no one talks about openly: “The Lies We Tell Ourselves About Losing Weight.”

These thoughts are subtle.

They’re sneaky.

They feel reasonable.

And that’s exactly why they keep so many runners stuck.

We tell ourselves little stories like “I run so much, I should be able to eat whatever I want,” or “I’ll start eating better after my race,” or “It’s just my hormones,” and we don’t even question them.

They become invisible barriers that quietly sabotage our progress.

In this episode, I’m going to shine a big bright light on the most common lies runners tell themselves about losing weight, why they feel so true, and how to shift into thoughts that actually support your goals.

If you’re ready for honesty, clarity, and a massive mindset upgrade… this one’s for you.
