I. Welcome to the Six Miles to Supper podcast. I'm your host, Kayla Cox, and I've lost over £80 with intermittent fasting six days a week, eating whatever I wanted at my meals, taking a cheat day every Sunday and walking six miles a day. And I'm here to help you on your weight loss journey.



Before we get into today's episode, I just want to let you know that I am offering the all access pass for my academy. So what this means is that you can pay a monthly subscription for access to all the courses inside my academy. That also gets you access to office hours with me and to a weekly group meeting that will do on Zoom.



This meeting will have a topical component based on the group's needs, and I'll also be taking questions and I will answer them in depth inside the meeting. In order to get access. All you need to do is log in to the course and then go to the weekly group meeting module, which should be located in the course introduction for whichever course you're in and if you'd like to get your all access pass subscription, you can click the link in the show notes.



Thanks. In today's episode, we're going to talk about bad days on the weight loss journey. Now, the thing about bad days is that when you're going through it, they're not fun. They're actually quite bad. That's why we call them a bad day. And I know that it sounds trite, you know, when when someone says, oh, well, there's always a silver lining in every, you know, bad thing.

And as I sat there in the bathroom, you know, I remember logging in to Facebook and I and I saw these notifications and it said, Oh, you've been tagged in some photos.



And I remember thinking, oh, I wonder, well, you know, when would was that from? And that I thought, well, it's probably just, you know, just my kids because I always avoided the camera. So when I clicked on the notification, I started seeing all these pictures. I was like swiping through and I didn't recognize myself. And I remember in that moment I was so humiliated.



I was embarrassed. I was really angry at the person who had posted the pictures. I was angry at Facebook for having the stupid tagging feature. I remember being very upset, just, you know, crying. And I remember thinking, you know, maybe my family would be better off without me. And in that moment, I called out to God. I was like, I, I need help.



You know, I can't do this alone. So even though that was my low point, it was also this turning point that happened to me because it was in
