In today's episode, I unpack the third important rule for our Project Weight Loss and that is the self-confidence in you rule, the vital "Project You" rule.

This rule emphasizes the importance of cultivating a positive self-image. Self-confidence is paramount for both weight loss success and effective project management. By embracing self-love and checking self-criticism, we unlock our true potential and inspire those around us. Remember, nurturing a positive relationship with ourselves sets the foundation for all other relationships in our lives. It's not selfish; it's necessary. So, I offer, let's prioritize self-care and positivity, knowing that when we love ourselves unconditionally, we create a ripple effect of empowerment and fulfillment.

In today's episode, we're going to unpack a topic that's close to my heart: the profound impact that relationships have on our project weight loss journey.

Lately, I've been reflecting on the significance of the people in our lives, both in our professional and personal spheres. I've been contemplating retirement and it's got me thinking about the wonderful individuals who have crossed my path throughout my career.

I also define what relationships mean to me.

I've been inspired by the insights of Maester Drew Chalker, who suggests that people enter our lives for specific reasons, providing support and guidance during challenging times. Drew also talks about the concept of seasons in relationships, where individuals come into our lives to share, grow, and learn, but only for a period.

I'm incredibly grateful for the lifelong relationships that have shaped me into who I am today. From family members to mentors and friends, each person has left an indelible mark on my life.

As we wrap up, I encourage you to reflect on the people who have influenced your weight loss journey. Remember, our relationships shape how we perceive ourselves and the world around us.

I'll leave you with a quote from Anaïs Nin "We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are."

Thank you for joining me on this episode of the people that people our lives, and how they come into our lives for a reason, a season and a lifetime.


I hope you'll take some time to share this episode with your loved ones and continue the conversation about the power of relationships in our wellness journey. Until next time, take care and stay well.

In today's episode of Project Weight Loss, I, Fina Perez, your guide and coach, unpacked desires and cravings and the concept of not wanting to want to overeat or eat off plan. We unraveled over desire, focusing on the intense allure of cravings and the broader spectrum of desires, particularly in the context of our relationship with food. This exploration serves as a crucial foundation for our collective journey towards a healthier, more intentional life.

As we our Project Weight Loss journey, I emphasized the significance of understanding these nuances. Over desires and cravings possess the potential to veer us away from our true desires. For me, it's about cultivating a healthy body and savoring a remarkable quality of life in the years ahead. From pinpointing when and where these desires typically surface to providing actionable strategies for overcoming them, this episode aims to empower you in conquering these challenges. Closing with the timeless wisdom of Plato and Seneca, we are reminded that the first and greatest victory is the conquest of oneself, a key to celebrating life without unnecessary cravings. Until our next insightful journey together, stay true to your path, nurture contentment, and wield the power to conquer yourself.

Let’s go, let’s get it done.
