[Love Life and Lose Weight] 85: Episode 85: Your Emergency Response Plan for Unflattering Summer Photos

Have you ever seen a photo of yourself that made your stomach drop?

Maybe it was a candid at the beach, a group shot someone tagged you in, or just a moment caught at the wrong angle—and suddenly, all your recent progress feels invisible. You're flooded with self-doubt, shame, or the urge to hide.

If this sounds familiar, this is your episode.

In today’s powerful conversation, you’ll discover:

  • Why unflattering photos can feel like a threat to your identity
  • How to break the spiral of self-criticism before it leads to self-sabotage
  • The truth about what photos actually show—and what they never can
  • A 4-step emotional reset plan you can use the next time this happens
  • Why reframing this moment may be the turning point in your journey

This isn’t just about photos—it’s about protecting your progress, your peace, and your power.

🎧 Listen now and build the inner resilience to keep showing up for yourself—no matter what your camera roll says.

I’m an advanced certified weight and life coach who holds a master’s degree in education. I don’t just talk about weight loss; I work full-time as a coach. More than that, I live the lifestyle. My story is powerful proof that the diet industry is broken, and it can and will break you too, unless you are willing to leave it all behind you. We were sold a lie about weight loss that blames the dieter for a lack of self-control in a system that demonizes food as good or bad. That all can stop for you today, too.
