THIS Is the Key to Permanent Weight Loss

In this week’s episode, Sarah and Morgan discuss the role that resilience plays in losing weight and keeping it off. Resilience is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties, aka toughness. We could all use a little more of that, especially during these crazy COVID-19 times.

If you really want to lose weight and keep it off, you have to cultivate the skill of resilience. This isn’t something you’re born with, you can learn how to become more resilient. It doesn’t matter how many times you stop. It matters how many times you start again.

Note: Reshape Physical Therapy and Wellness evolved into Weight Loss for Health, and finally Zivli. How to Lose Weight After 50 was our first course that eventually grew into Zivli. Some old blog posts or resources mentioned in this episode may have been removed.

A lot of veggies, chicken, Fish and pork tenderloin He had a knee replacement in 2018. Exercise causes stiffness and swelling in his knee so he doesn’t exercise. He is prediabetic. He can’t seem to lose any weight. He is 65. His blood pressure and cholesterol is normal.

Thank you Sara and Morgan for another great video. I enjoy listening to them while I walk (so could you do at least one a day!!!)! I have two thoughts - Sara and Morgan, it seems that your love language is "service to others." And when your love language is service to others anything that suggests that you are being "selfish" is going to be triggering. But of course you have to be a bit selfish - we all do to survive. I'm always reminded of the analogy of oxygen masks on an airplane. The flight attendants always tell you to put the mask on yourself first and then help the others around you. My first time as a mom hearing that I was like "no way, I'm going to save my kids first." And then I realized, if I put the mask on my child, I might pass out after doing that and they wouldn't be able to help me and then they'd be motherless and how was that really in their best interest? (Yes, I know there was a lot of catastrophizing in that thought process!) But the importance of the message is: Be selfish sometimes so you can continue to help others!!!!

And my second thought was about the topic of resilience and how "you move on or you don't." My son died by suicide 20 months ago. It was devastating as a mother and even more so because I am a mental health professional and I couldn't help him. So I had two options: quit or move on. I chose to move on. I haven't forgotten him by any means but I am LIVING my best life to honor him. He would want that for me. So I share this in support of your sage advice: MOVE ON! You can do it and if you need help, reach out and get it. Beg, borrow or steal help!!! You deserve it!

Thank you again Sara and Morgan; you are helping people!!!
