100-Pound Weight Loss Mindset Workbook: Stop Starting Over

If you've lost and gained the same 20 pounds more times than you can count, you already know the diet part. You know what to eat. You know calories matter. But knowing doesn't keep the weight off—and that's not your fault. After losing 100 pounds and keeping it off for over a decade, I learned the hard way that the missing piece isn't another meal plan or workout split. It's the mental game. The stuff nobody talks about: how to stop using food as comfort when life gets messy. How to face the scale without shame. How to show up on Tuesday after you "blew it" on Monday. How to actually like yourself enough to keep going. This workbook walks you through the exact mindset shifts that took me from size 20 and hysterical in dressing rooms to someone who doesn't dread the doctor or hide from photos. These aren't journal prompts or rah-rah affirmations. They're practical exercises I used myself and later taught to hundreds of thousands of people as a registered dietitian and weight loss coach at UCLA. You'll identify your real emotional eating triggers, rewrite the stories you tell yourself about failure, build a sustainable tracking habit that doesn't feel like punishment, and create a relapse plan so one bad day doesn't turn into five bad months. This is for women who are exhausted from starting over, who know they need to fix what's happening between their ears before they can fix what's on their plate. If you're ready to stop hating your body and start showing up for it—a little bit every single day—this is your starting point.
