Hey there. For over two decades I’ve watched the fitness and weight loss industry market against people’s insecurities. They tell you that if you change your body, you’ll finally feel good about yourself. The problem is, most of us know from experience that even when the weight comes off, the self-doubt and negative thoughts don’t automatically disappear. That’s why I’ve built an inside/out approach.
This approach isn’t about a perfect list of rules or following the latest program. It’s about starting with your preferences and building a foundation that fits you. Because at the end of the day, the actions we take are driven by what’s going on in our head. If your mindset is scattered, overwhelmed, or negative, your actions will reflect that. But if you create calm, quiet your thoughts, and move at a deliberate pace, you’ll start trusting yourself more and more.
When you apply this to eating and exercise, it changes everything. Instead of forcing yourself into something that doesn’t fit, you’re choosing things you actually enjoy and can see yourself doing consistently. That makes it easier to build what I call a forever active lifestyle. It’s not about hype or quick results. It’s about trust, confidence, and a process that actually lasts.
The weight loss process is powerful because it’s such a clearly defined area of life. You set goals, you take daily actions, you challenge yourself, and you don’t always see immediate results. But when you trust that the process is working, you start building a new relationship with yourself. And once you learn how to do this in fitness, you can apply it to other areas of your life. A calm, deliberate approach to fitness becomes a calm, deliberate approach to life.
If you’ve been on this journey for decades, I know how frustrating it can be to chase program after program and still feel like you’re missing something. The truth is, you haven’t been given the tools to build your own foundation. No one ever showed you how to create an instruction manual that works for you. That’s why this approach matters. It’s about reinforcing new beliefs, trusting yourself, and finally realizing that you’ve always been enough.
If you’re ready to start practicing this approach and want guidance on how to put it into action, I invite you to join The YLF Experience.
