Ep 331 Why Can't I Stay Consistent (The real reason)
Episode 331
Monday, 9 February, 2026
Feeling drained by constant dieting, food rules, and starting over only to wonder why consistency feels impossible? In this episode, Leslie reveals the real reason people struggle to stay consistent with food, weight, and habits, and it has nothing to do with discipline or willpower. She explains how food obsession, guilt, and self-blame are symptoms of something deeper that most approaches completely miss. Leslie breaks down why even knowing exactly what to do doesn't lead to lasting change when your energy is depleted. Life stress, emotional baggage, resentment, and unresolved challenges quietly drain your capacity to follow through, making weight loss feel heavy and exhausting. She shares why this isn't a personal failure, but a human response and how trying harder only reinforces the cycle. The key shift, Leslie explains, is prioritizing energy over strategy. When emotional patterns quiet down and your nervous system feels supported, consistency happens naturally. This episode offers a powerful reframe and a compassionate path forward for anyone ready to stop fighting food and start creating ease, peace, and lasting freedom.
