Your Weight Loss Goals Might Be Holding You Back

Updated on February 3, 2025 – Let’s be real – goals can suck when all you focus on is a number on the scale. You set a big goal like “I want to lose 30 pounds” and when progress is slow, frustration kicks in. I know this feeling all too well. Writing my recipe book felt like an impossible mountain to climb. I wanted to give up so many times. But here’s the thing – you and I have big goals and dreams, and they’re worth chasing. The key? Shifting your focus.

The Problem: You’re Measuring Success the Wrong Way

Ever feel like your goals are working against you? You aim to lose 10 pounds, you drop 3, and instead of celebrating, you beat yourself up over the 7 pounds you didn’t lose. Sound familiar?

Trina’s Tidbit:

Instead of obsessing over the finish line, ask yourself daily:

What can I do today to take one small step toward my goal.

The Solution: Change Your Language, Change Your Mindset

Stop saying: “I want to get skinny.”

Start saying: “I am getting strong and lean.”

Reframe your goals into positive, action- based habits like I am:

Losing body fat.
Moving my body.
Growing my muscles.
Being consistent.
Getting healthy.

Ask yourself:

What does my goal require me to do daily to succeed. Do I need to:

Move my body more?
Eat more fruits and vegetables?
Set realistic expectations?
Get better sleep?
Drink more water?
Be patient and consistent?

Be kind to yourself

You cannot make lasting changes until you’re truly ready. Life is hard – but you are stronger. Prioritize you in small, manageable steps.

Celebrate Every Victory

Every pound lost matters.
Each workout completed counts.
Choose progress over perfection – you win.

Don’t lose weight to change your life. Change your life, and the weight will follow. No more binging, no more shaming. Just small, sustainable steps that actually stick. You’ve got this – I know you can do it!
