191. 5 areas of self-awareness that will change everything about your weight loss (do this and never gain it back) Artwork

Get Your Goal Body

Ready to lose the weight and keep it off - once and for all? Welcome to Get Your Goal Body. I'm Hilary & I lost 100 pounds naturally over a decade ago, kept it off, and I have degrees in Nutrition and Psychology to back it up. More than that, I know the real work is about who you become, not just what you lose.

Get Your Goal Body is for high-achieving women who are done playing small and ready to do this differently. Here, we talk about the stuff nobody else does: identity shifts, mindset upgrades, and the actual process of making your dream body - and life - your new normal.

If you want permission to want more, to stop negotiating with yourself, and to live as the version of you who finishes what she starts, you’re in the right place. You’ll get unfiltered stories, practical truth bombs, and a totally new way to think about results - straight from someone who’s walked it, studied it, and coached thousands through it.

No more waiting for the “right” time. No more shrinking to fit someone else’s plan. This is your invitation to step all the way in. Let's get YOU your Goal Body!

You've been told losing weight is about calories, workouts, and willpower. It's not. After a decade of coaching thousands of women, I can tell you the ONE thing every woman who actually lost the weight AND kept it off had in common. Self-awareness. Today I'm walking you through the 5 areas you need to audit, the 3 mistakes I see women make trying to, and the prompts you can start with today.

In this episode:

Why "I know what to do, I just don't do it" is the biggest lie you've been telling yourself
The 3 mistakes women make when they try to build self-awareness (mistake #1 is why you've been listening to podcasts for years without moving)
The 5 exact areas of self-awareness you need to audit & build — food behavior, patterns, lifestyle, identity, and excuses
Why you need a pen and paper for this episode (and where to grab the full prompt library)
What to do next if you're ready to stop diagnosing yourself alone
