How do you take the first step towards weight loss when you feel too fat to even get started? You know the feeling when you feel too fat to move your body and too uncomfortable in your clothes. When you feel like this, it feels more comfortable to stay in your wet blanket of misery and sit on the couch, watch Netflix, and order all the food. In this episode, I’m going to teach you how to take the first step to build momentum, drop the all or nothing thinking, and kick start your weight loss journey with small steps.
