EPISODE 45: The #1 Reason Why Only 9% of Resolutioners Will Achieve Their Goal in 2025

As we kick off 2025, many dieters are setting ambitious weight loss resolutions — hoping this year will be the one they finally achieve their goal, but the truth is, only 9% will actually be successful.

So what do those successful 9% know that the other 91% don't?

The secret often lies in understanding the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.

In this episode, we dive into these two powerful forces driving human behavior.

Intrinsic motivation comes from within—you're motivated by personal satisfaction, a sense of accomplishment, or the joy of healthy living. When you tap into intrinsic motivation, weight loss becomes about more than just the number on the scale; it's about feeling better by living in alignment with your values.

On the flip side, extrinsic motivation relies on external rewards like praise, attention, acceptance, etc. While these can give you a temporary boost, they're unsustainable in the long run.

Join us as we explore how to balance both types of motivation so you can stay on track and turn your dream into a reality.

From finding joy in the process to setting realistic external milestones, you'll learn how to tap into the power of both motivations to create lasting change and finally achieve your weight loss resolution.
