123: What to Do When You Have Zero Energy for Weight Loss
Aug 28, 2025 Season 1 Episode 123
Kimberly Severson

If you're stuck in the exhausting cycle of being "perfect" on your good days and completely giving up on your bad days, this episode is going to change everything for you. I'm breaking down the biggest lie diet culture has sold us - that successful people are motivated all the time - and showing you exactly how to make progress toward your weight loss goals even when you feel like you have absolutely nothing to give.

You'll discover why your fluctuating energy and motivation levels are completely normal (and actually human!), plus the simple strategy I use with all my clients to stop those inevitable low-energy days from turning into week-long food spirals. I'm sharing real examples of the tiny actions that keep you moving forward when willpower is nowhere to be found, and why these small steps are actually more powerful than those dramatic "all-in" days you've been chasing.

This is the missing piece that no diet ever teaches you - how to show up for yourself imperfectly and still reach your goals. If you're tired of starting over every Monday because you "messed up" again, this episode will give you permission to be human while you lose weight.
