Still Trying to Lose Weight? This Might Be Why.

Still trying to lose weight? 

It’s difficult to navigate the emotional and practical realities of changing long-held behaviours - and the resistance that comes with that change, both from others and from yourself. 

It’s also difficult to comprehend how people often respond when you do, and why backslides happen. 

This is deeply important to someone struggling with weight loss, health, and getting their life in order - because this is the missing piece most weight loss advice completely ignores. 

Here’s what no one tells you about change (that you really need to know) 

Real change isn’t about food. It’s about identity.

When we try to lose weight, we usually start by changing what we do — what we’re eating, our exercise routines, and our habits. 

But we rarely expect the social resistance that shows up when we start changing who we are becoming. 

Friends, family, co-workers - often unconsciously - pull you back into your old self. 

Because that suits their story. 

Because your change puts pressure on their comfort. 

Because they’d prefer to believe you’re the same. 

And when you're finally gaining traction, that pressure can shake your confidence, make you question your progress, and drag you off course - not because the food is calling, but because the group is pulling. 

Understanding this gives you the power to expect it, recognise it, and stay in the lead anyway. 

This is what it means to understand the battle within, and where liberation begins and clarity lives 

The 3 Systems of Health Consciousness™ is the model that brings a mindset shift in how you approach habit change as it shows you the invisible architecture of how your habits are formed through your thoughts, emotions, and nervous system. 

The biggest sabotage happens inside your own head. 

People think weight loss is about sticking to a plan. 

But sticking to a plan means being able to interrupt old thoughts, feelings, and reflexes while they’re happening. 

That’s not about discipline. 

That’s about awareness. 

When those old behaviours resurface - and they will - what happens next is critical. 

Do you say, “Stuff it, I’ve ruined everything,” and spiral into a week-long blowout? 

Or do you say, “Right. That happened. Now let’s steer back.” 

The moment you notice it is the moment you’re back in charge.  

This is what the Freedom Codes™ are designed to do, show you how to take the lead  

Each Freedom Code™ is a structured explanation of human behaviour that equips you with deep understanding and a clear pathway to change, helping you do what you never thought you could: 

• Overcome self-sabotage  
• Break the cycle of binge eating, cravings, and guilt 
• Silence the obsessive food chatter in your head 
• End the start-stop pattern 
• Regulate your emotions without turning to food or checking out 
• Release the stress and pressure and unleash your energy 

Weight loss is not a straight line — it’s a build. 

Just like physical strength, mental and emotional fitness is something you train. 

The more you build it, the faster you can: 

• notice unhelpful patterns 
• modulate your reaction, and 
• get back on track. 

That “gap” between reaction and response? 

That’s where weight loss either happens - or doesn’t. 

If you can shorten that gap, you stop the emotional eating before it starts. 

You skip the shame spiral. 

You waste less time “starting again.” 

You start building real momentum. 

This is Personal Health Leadership™ and where you lead your life. Because you’re not reacting anymore and chasing change, you’re leading it!  

 Not everyone will support your growth - and that’s normal. 

 Even when you’re doing the work-  improving, changing, becoming more intentional - many people will still treat you like the version they’re most comfortable with. 

Sometimes that’s because they benefited from the old dynamic. 

Sometimes they just don’t believe people can change. 

Either way, you can’t wait for their approval. 

You’ve already moved. 

Keep going. You have changed. 

You’re not your old behaviours. 

You’re the person managing them now. 

That’s the version of you worth backing - even if no one else sees it yet. 

Let the resistance fuel you. 

Let the setbacks refine you. 

And above all else: stay the course.
