  Join The GuildCLICK HERE TO LEARN MOREEpisode DescriptionIf you have tried every diet, tracked every calorie, and still find yourself overeating at night or regaining the same weight over and over, this episode is going to hit uncomfortably close to home. Chris pulls back the curtain on five real-life roadblocks that most people never want to say out loud. These are the deeper life choices and dynamics that quietly keep you overweight, out of shape, and exhausted, no matter how badly you say you want to change.Drawing from his own 125 pound weight loss and years of coaching people through morbid obesity into a thin life, Chris calls out the hard stuff. The job you hate. The kids who take everything out of you. The way you hide in helping everyone else. The spouse you blame or fear. The principles and beliefs you have never updated since your twenties. This is not about shaming you. It is about finally telling the truth about the life you built and how that life is shaping your body.If you have ever thought “I just do not have time to take care of myself” or “I cannot change this without blowing up my whole life,” this conversation will challenge that story and give you a way to start taking your power back.In this episode, you will learnWhy a controlling, draining, or boring job can quietly drive emotional eating and long term weight gain, and what it really means to consider changing it.How a lack of boundaries with your kids teaches them that self care is optional and keeps you stuck in chronic self neglect.Why constantly helping everyone else first can be a socially acceptable way to avoid facing your own body, habits, and limitations.How an overbearing spouse, or the story you tell yourself about your spouse, becomes an excuse that blocks your progress and what you can actually do about it.Why outdated principles and unexamined beliefs from your past are running the show and keeping you from becoming the thin, healthy, happy version of you.This episode is for you ifYou feel trapped by your job, your kids, or your relationship and you keep saying they are the reason you cannot lose weight.You are the reliable helper for everyone else, but your own health keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the list.You are ready for straight talk, tough love, and real responsibility without shame.
