EP 264. How to Stay Consistent When You’re Just Too Tired
You don’t need another diet—you need to manage your energy.
Because let’s be honest: it’s not that you don’t want to cook the meal, take the walk, or go to the gym. It’s that you feel “too tired.” But that tiredness isn’t always physical. Most of the time, it’s emotional or mental fatigue pretending to be physical.
In this episode of Stop. Dieting. Forever., I’ll show you how to spot the difference between the three main types of fatigue—physical, emotional, and mental—and what to actually do about each. I’ll share my own gym story where I realized my body wasn’t exhausted at all, but my mind and emotions were. That shift changed everything.
When you learn fatigue literacy, you stop mislabeling “tired” and start solving the right problem. And the result? You build consistency without relying on diets, deprivation, or sheer willpower. This is how you manage your energy for diet-free weight loss that actually lasts.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
How to tell the difference between physical, emotional, and mental fatigue
Why “tiredness” is the #1 saboteur of healthy habits
Why mislabeling fatigue leads to inconsistency (and stalls weight loss)
Energy management strategies that don’t require willpower
How to use the Just Do Something rule to keep momentum going
