How woman lost more than 70 kgs

“If you want real weight loss change, don’t skip this,” Kate began her post, reflecting on how her struggle with consistency wasn’t about willpower, but about mindset.

Kate explained that she once believed she couldn’t stay consistent before and after weight loss surgery because she wasn’t disciplined enough. But over time, she realised it wasn’t a discipline problem, it was about how her brain interpreted evidence.

Role of consistency in her journey

“Every time I told myself, ‘What’s the point? I’ll still wake up overweight tomorrow,’ I was reinforcing that my effort didn’t matter and that results had to be instant to be worth it,” she wrote. She shared that this pattern showed up not just in her fitness routine but across different areas of her life, from cleaning her house to tackling work projects. “If the result wasn’t immediate, I stopped showing up,” Kate admitted.

That’s when it clicked for her, consistency isn’t built on motivation, it’s built on evidence. “It wasn’t a willpower problem. It was an identity problem,” she noted. “Because consistency after bariatric surgery isn’t built through motivation. It’s built through evidence. And your brain repeats what you show it you are.”

Tips to build consistency

To help others working on similar goals, Kate shared three simple yet effective habits to start building consistency:

1️⃣ Take a 10-minute walk even when you’re tired.

2️⃣ Prep your protein snack before bed, even when it feels pointless.

3️⃣ Pause and notice your thoughts, are they helping or holding you back?

Kate encouraged her followers to pay attention to the moments when the “what’s the point” voice shows up, whether during meals, workouts, or daily routines. “Those little actions and moments of awareness prove you’re someone who follows through, and that’s how consistency is created,” she concluded.
