    What Am I Doing This All For, Anyway?

    What happens when you’re doing all the “right” things but the scale isn’t budging? What if weight loss never happens? Would the effort still be worth it? In this episode, I dive into the tough (but necessary) question behind so many stalled or discouraged wellness journeys: What’s the point of all this if I’m not losing weight? This conversation started with a client who felt torn about intuitive eating because she still desperately wanted to see the number go down. And what unfolded was a powerful reminder about what actually changes when we step away from restriction and start showing up for our health in deeper, more sustainable ways. You’ll hear: Why the scale isn't the best measure of your progressHow to reframe “slow” progress as something valuableWhat real happiness and health actually come fromWhy building a good life matters more than chasing a “goal weight”And what to do if you still want to lose weightApply to work with me here: https://www.adamwrightfitness.com/wrightfit-elite-program Follow my socials! https://instagram.com/@coachadamofficialhttps://youtube.com/@coachadamofficialhttps://tiktok.com/@coachadamofficialhttps://facebook.com/coachadamofficial

    Body Neutrality: The Middle Ground That Might Change Everything

    In this episode, I invite you to explore a radical new approach to self-worth and body image: body neutrality. Instead of chasing smaller numbers or forcing self-love, I walk you through the middle ground. You’ll learn why ditching the scale might be the most freeing move you can make, and how to start measuring your progress through non-scale victories (NSVs) that actually reflect your growth, healing, and quality of life. This episode gives you the tools — and the permission — to let go of shame and start showing up with respect and compassion. What We Talk About: Why the scale isn’t a reliable (or kind) measure of healthWhat body neutrality is (and how it differs from body positivity)Why forcing body love can backfire — and what to try insteadWhat real progress looks like through non-scale victories (NSVs)How to unhook your self-worth from your weight and appearanceReframing “fitness goals” in a body-neutral wayCommon pushbacks to body neutrality — and how to respond to themThe long-term benefits of shifting to a weight-neutral health approachHow to build a more sustainable and joyful relationship with food, movement, and your bodyYour Challenge This Week: Notice one non-scale victory each day. Write it down. Big or small — they all count. Whether it’s enjoying food without guilt, moving your body for joy, or skipping the scale altogether — these moments build real, lasting change. ✨ Ready to work with me?
