4 Common Causes of Weight Loss Resistance and How to Overcome Them
I GET IT! Have you tried every diet under the sun but still feel like you're stuck in a never-ending cycle of disappointment? I hear you, because I’ve been there too—jumping from one “miracle” diet to the next, only to see little or no progress despite all my effort. I know the frustration of working so hard and still feeling like your body isn't responding. So, here's the truth—I didn’t discover the answer in a jar of Vaseline. Growing up, I had a very health-conscious mother. Now, that might sound like a good thing, but unfortunately, her obsession with health stemmed from an extreme eating disorder. She demonized food, especially fat, and I heard things like, "Why don’t you just put a little more Vaseline on your toast?" (She meant butter, of course). Fat was the enemy, and carbs were the savior. I loved carbs—who doesn’t? But this warped way of thinking led me to develop a deep struggle with food, which eventually turned into bulimia in high school.
