Don’t Make These Mistakes With Your Body and Mindset Transformations!

Looking back at my body transformation in 2021, there are three things I deeply regret.

These were hard lessons, but they’ve shaped me, and I share them in the hope that you won’t make the same mistakes.

1. I didn’t believe in the change I’d made.

Even after losing a massive amount of weight (100 lbs), I couldn’t see it. The scale showed the progress, people told me I looked different, and the photos didn’t lie—but I felt hideous and stuck in my old mindset. I actually had to gain back 30 lbs to realise how far I’d come. That disbelief robbed me of celebrating my own success. I wish I’d trusted what I’d accomplished. Trust your grind. Own your change.

2. I didn’t invest in my mindset early enough.

I spent years focused on diets and workouts, trying to physically transform, but I didn’t realise my mind needed the work too. This year, I invested $15k in mindset coaching, and that’s when everything changed. The mental game is everything—it’s what makes or breaks you. Had I known this sooner, I could’ve avoided years of doubt and pain. Strong mind, strong body—remember that.

3. I didn’t trust myself with food and nutrition.

For too long, I believed I needed someone else to tell me what to eat and how much. I followed plans, waiting for the next expert to save me. But the truth is, I didn’t need saving. I just needed to trust my own intuition and the knowledge I already had about my body. I wish I’d listened to that inner voice sooner. Don’t wait for permission. You know your body better than anyone.

These are the regrets I carry, but they’ve become the fuel that pushes me forward. Trust your progress. Invest in your mindset. Believe in your body’s intuition. You've already got what it takes—just listen.
